Originally carried as a discreet accessory for reading or attending the theater, the piece relies on a highly ornamented solid sterling silver housing. A subtle lever at the crown pulls down to smoothly spring the lenses open. The deeply pressed repoussé floral motifs indicate Edwardian-era craftsmanship, while the solitary \"K\" hallmark hints at its historical provenance. The intricate silverwork and enduring mechanical functionality provide a highly collectible example of antique optical jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecs\u003cbr\u003e Maker\/Artist: Unknown\u003cbr\u003e Year Made: 1910s\u003cbr\u003e Materials: Sterling Silver, Glass\u003cbr\u003e Dimensions: 4.5\" W x 1.25\" H x 0.25\" D (Open), 2.75\" W x 1.25\" H x 0.25\" D (Folded)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eThe lorgnette remains in good antique condition with a fully operational spring mechanism.
