An antique item with normal wear. Mother-of-pearl panels display nicely. Optics appear usable, but the item is sold as a collectible/display piece.
Beautiful antique opera glasses featuring genuine mother-of-pearl panels with a brass frame and central focusing wheel. These classic theater binoculars date to the late 19th or early 20th century and were traditionally used at operas, concerts, and theaters.
The piece shows authentic age-related patina and wear consistent with its age. There is a small chip/crack visible in one mother-of-pearl panel (see photos). which does not affect functionality and is typical for antique examples.
Lenses appear clear with no major scratches when viewed under normal light.
This is a wonderful collectible for antique lovers, opera enthusiasts, or elegant decor.
