English Sterling Silver & Tortoise Shell Magnifying Glass - Pique Inlaid

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

Probably one of the most decorative I have had in some time, this large Magnifying glass has the most superb sterling silver handle.

The front of the handle is inset with a glossy piece of Tortoiseshell with a very pretty pique inlay. All of this is surrounded with a raised border.

The handle is joined to the period brass framed glass with a pretty sterling ferrule, which is where the English hallmark can be found for Sheffield 1893. The magnifier is an old one, with a fantastic magnification, making this a very usable desk accessory.

Excellent condition, measuring 8" long with a glass diameter measuring 3 1/2".

Item ID: 35288

FREE Worldwide Registered Airmail Directly From London, England
