Victorian Antique "Nez Pince" Eye Glasses for a Woman, VERY RARE WITH CHAIN AND PIN LOCKET TO HOLD IT
D
ESCRIPTION:
Scans show it all.....a complete pair of RARE "NEZ PINCE" antique Victorian eye glasses. As typical with this style, these are held by pressure against the nose, without side frames.
Regular NEZ PINCE style glasses are fairly scarce. They were popular with the upper classes towards the end of the 1800's to the first couple of decades of the 1900's. They were therefore only used for a limited time.
THIS TYPE WAS FAVORED BY PRESIDENTS TEDDY ROOSEVELT AND WOODROW WILSON.
Most of these hung by a strap around the neck. The hole where the strap attached is on the side. THIS PAIR IS RARER THAN MOST AS THEY NOT ONLY STILL HAVE THE FINE CHAIN, BUT THEY EVEN STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL "LOCKET" THAT HOLDS THE FINE CHAIN, PREVENTING THE GLASSES FROM FALLING TO THE FLOOR. The locket pins onto the lapel or other clothing. I HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN A PAIR WITH THIS ORIGINAL GOLD CHAIN AND HOLDER.
THIS IS PROBABLY YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO GET SUCH A COMPLETE, ORIGINAL PAIR.
Lenses could be changed to use these if desired, or they could obviously become part of your collection or for use with theatrical costumes.
