ACC099A Magnifying Glass with Brass Stand
Back then no writing desk was complete without the magnifier and its stand. The quality of reading glasses was pretty limited. Older ladies and gents often used to read letters through the 'Looking Glass'. In our age and time magnifiers still function to study an intricate detail of that antique piece of pottery you just bought, is it actually signed? Surprise your (grand-) children by showing them the wing construction of a deceased butterfly found behind the living room sofa. The Decorative stand is made from hand turned hardwood, the bronze clamp is lined with soft leather to avoid scratching the wood handle.
25.5 x 11.5 x 18cm, 10 x 4.5 x 7"

Nickel Magnifying Glass

A glass with dignity should come with instructions on how to hold. Finger tips only. Pinkie up? Not unlike the one I used as a boy to burn a hole in my Father's virgin New York Times. Resulting in a memorable experience, chronicled in the family's annals. News papers were not to be ravaged. This reading glass carries a long and elegant rosewood finish handle. All metal parts are nickel plated brass to closely match the family silver. Magnification 3x
L. 32cm, 12.5". W. 7.5cm, 3".
