Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Around 1900, during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, decorative desk accessories such as silver-mounted magnifying glasses served as functional tools and status symbols in personal libraries, often featuring intricate classical motifs like cherubs and lattice work.

These items typically feature silver or silver-plated handles and frames holding a ground optical glass lens, often combining cast figurative detail with hand-chased textured metalwork.

Authenticity is determined by evaluating silver hallmarks or maker marks stamped along the collar or handle, assessing natural age-related tarnishing in recessed areas, and inspecting the precision of cast figurative details.

Place the object atop a stack of hardcover books on an office desk, display it within a glass cabinet, or arrange it alongside brass and silver accessories on a side table.

Clean the glass lens with a dry microfibre cloth and gently buff the silver handle using a specialised silver polishing cloth, taking care to avoid liquid polishes near the lens mount.
