Large Sterling Silver and Tortoise Shell Handled Magnifying Glass

1900 - 1920
Sold by Puckerings
Description

A good large magnifying glass, as useful as attractive. The handle is made from sterling silver. The silver ferrule is where the English hallmark is found, struck for the year 1905 in the Sheffield assay office.

The front of the handle is inset with a large glossy piece of antique tortoiseshell with beautiful markings and a myriad of colourings. The silver framing the shell has a ribbon & reed decoration and further down a small floral garland each side, quite unusual.

The nickel framed glass is of course new, making this a very usable desk-top accessory, clear, undamaged with a good magnification.

Excellent condition measuring 8 3/4" in length and a glass diameter measuring 4".

Item ID: 31707
