French Hand Painted Enamel Opera Glasses
French Hand Painted Enamel Opera Glasses
This is a late 19th century French kiln fired enamel opera glasses featuring a brass base with a mother of pearl eyepiece marked Bryson on one rim and Edinburgh on the other. It has a light blue enamel body with hand painted floral medallions on each side accented with gold stars throughout. The writing on the mother of pearl is faded in some areas, and there are some cracks and tiny chips on the enamel body and a tiny chip on the mother of pearl due to age and use. The brass has also developed a natural patina over time. The center knob works properly to adjust the eyepieces.
Opera glasses like these were commonly used in French theaters, opera houses, and formal social gatherings to view performances and stage details from a distance. It can be styled on a stack of books, in a cabinet, or on a shelf as a decorative piece.
