This is a truly amazing offering for one of the most unique pair of glasses/spectacles you will ever see. These are an antique pair of spectacles made during the Art Deco era. This puts these glasses easily at 80 - 100 years old. The frames are exceptionally and intricately embellished with Art Deco designs on the rims, the bridge, the earpieces and even on the inside of the frames. They look absolutely amazing. The last time I was able to offer anything like these, they were made out of white gold by Bausch & Lomb. Check this link to see those previously sold spectacles:

This pair has no markings of any kind, but they certainly are as beautiful as those made by Bausch & Lomb. These spectacles have non-prescription smoke tinted lenses. The nose rests are a matching silver finish. These are some of the most exquisite spectacles that have ever been made available at any time in history.
The frames of these glasses are in perfect condition. The Art Deco designs embellish nearly every surface, both on the front and back of the frames, bridge, etc. There is no pitting, corrosion or damage of any kind. They are utterly beautiful.
The lenses are in excellent condition. There are minor surface scuffs and a few tiny nicks on the lenses and there is a small scratch on the right lens that does not obstruct your vision in any way. Otherwise the lenses are all but perfect and are completely clear to look through while being worn. They are also non-prescription, which is an exceptional bonus for a pair of spectacles of this nature.
The earpieces are arrow-straight and the flexible wrap around portion of the earpieces make for a comfortable, lightweight pair of glasses that immediately adapts to your particular fit.
As an added bonus, these spectacles come with the original metal case with a felt-lined interior and Art Deco neo-classical designs on the lid (implying that these spectacles originate from the early Art Deco period when both styles were prevolent).
If you're looking for a Steampunk, retro, Victorian accessory of true refinement, this is as elegant as you will ever see. You will ABSOLUTELY make a statement with these authentic antique glasses. Take your vintage look to the next level with this amazing accessory. And don't let this once in a lifetime opportunity slip past. You will have something that can be cherished for generations.
These goggles feature professional frames and the lenses can be removed and replaced with custom prescription lenses or lenses with a different tint by any reputable optician. The goggles measure approximately 115mm wide from hinge to hinge and the lenses measure approximately 44mm high, including the frames - please consider the dimensions when selecting any pair of goggles or spectacles, and if you have a question please don't hesitate to ask.
