One of a kind - only one available.
Engraved with the date February 6, 1869, these antique opera glasses are as much a story as they are an object.
Crafted in warm brass with luminous mother-of-pearl barrels, this Victorian-era piece carries the quiet elegance of a bygone evening at the theater. The engraved date suggests a moment worth remembering — a celebration, a gift, or a night that mattered enough to be permanently etched into brass.
The original lenses are in excellent condition, with clear glass that has aged beautifully. One outer eyepiece ring is missing, a detail consistent with the piece’s age and history and reflected clearly in the photographs. The glasses are best appreciated as a decorative or collector’s object, prized for their craftsmanship and inscription.
A truly one-of-a-kind antique — meant to be displayed, admired, and passed down.
Measurements: approx. 4.5” x 3”
