                     DESCRIPTION:

For your appreciation I have this

fantastic pair of vintage Victorian pince-nez  dating around 1880'S to 1920'S, Art nouveau era pince nez 'nose pinch' oval framed spectacles with extendable bridge.

One pair slightly smaller than the other.

Larger one has been tested to be solid 9ct gold ( no marks so on the safe side selling as yellow metal)

Small one has gold plated frame or "rolled gold"  has some people calls it.

Both with cushioned nose pads, there is a small loop to the lower side for attaching to a chain to hang around the neck.

The nose pads move at an angle to find the best fit on the nose, the cushioned pads are worn though.

Clear glass oval  magnified reading lenses though I'm unsure of the strength of the larger ones they are quite strong and they are marked 10/10 on the bridge under the sprung, think to be the graduation of the lenses.

The smaller ones are marked with PATENT N. 153.00 on the nose pads.

Also the smaller ones believe that they are older ones (1880's), larger ones early 1900's.

They come in the original case.

Both in good used condition overall, with signs of wear, on both of them one of the lenses have small chips some wear to the gold plating on the small one, some wear to the cushioning pads.

On the small one the loop for the chain is twisted.

Refer to the pictures as they are part of the item description and condition.

ABOUT MY DESCRIPTIONS:

I never want anyone to be disappointed with their purchase, so I go out of my way to describe the items I sell accurately and fairly.

As certain things are subjective, I tend to prefer a "say what we see" approach to the description and, if I'm unsure of anything, I will make that clear.

I always try to point out faults but, not being experts on everything, I may miss something - this is why I take a lot of photos so that you, the buyer, can make an informed decision about your intended purchase.

If you spot an error on my listings, please do let me know, Information helps me get better and I never take offence by someone more knowledgeable getting in touch.

If I state an item to be from an era (ie "Victorian"), this will be a researched decision and I will be certain that I'm correct.

If I'm entirely certain then I would use quantifiers such as "Victorian-like".

If I state a specific year (ie "1851"), that will be a certain decision. If I state a timespan (ie "1850-1860") that would be a researched estimate.

Likewise with materials used (ie "Silver Plate" if stamped vs "Like Silver Plate or White Metal" if not stamped).
