Stunning French Art Deco hinged platinum lorgnette with 104 (! ) Rose cuts and 64 calibré cut onyx stones.

This particular type of lorgnette has a hidden system in its stem that, by moving it slowly down with the tip of your fingers, will release a spring that will open the closed lorgnette with one glass and makes it into a double-glassed lorgnette. We are sure of the origin of this piece because of the French control mark for platinum representing a dog's head that was in use in France from about 1912.

Vintage ladies accessory is in very good condition (there is sign of wear on the glass, but we decided not to replace them as the future owner might want to replace them anyway).

Diameter one glass (plus its holding) 3.78 cm (1.49 inch); length in closed condition 11.15 cm (4.39 inch), width from glasses when open 10.00 cm (3.94 inch)

Weight: 30.40 grams
