Vintage from the 1980s

In tones of ruby red, pink and metallic gold, these absolutely stunning authentic vintage wire rim frames were made in France with beautiful attention to line and detail and are still in deadstock condition.

Size as Listed: 55 – 16 - 135
Dimensions (measured in millimeters):
Outside Tip to Tip Frame Width: 131
Bridge: 16
Lens Width: 55
Total Frame Height: 49
Inside Hinge to Hinge: 129
Temple length (measured from the hinge, and including ear bend): 133

Make: Optimode – Frame France
Material: Metal Frames, Demo Lenses which require replacement
Condition: NEW OLD STOCK condition – these frames were sourced from a luxury optical shop in Rome which closed about 20 years ago. These have never been worn or lensed previously, but that being said they have sat in storage for nearly 50 years and do have some signs of age: some exceedingly light scuffing, all of which can be buffed and some mild warping, all of which can be fixed with heat-treatment. These are signs of age and authenticity. Their hinges are tight and well-aligned and their color is vibrant.

All of our glasses are RX ready to have your own eyeglass or sunglass lenses fitted by a professional optician!

With all of our glasses if these are for personal use we recommend replacing the lenses with your own prescription at your local opticians. All glasses “settle” to their owner’s face, so we always recommend to our vintage eyeglass customers to have a professional optician help adjust the glasses in minor ways to suit their particular construction.

Let’s take the example of the standard size “48—19—140” (you can find this measurement, listed like this, under “size as marked” in our listings.”)

“48” represents the size of the lenses (on most frames, the width across the front face.) In most womens frames, this size can go from 42-50, with some variance. In most men’s frames, this initial size is on average between 48-54.

“19,” our second number, is the bridge sizwhich ensures how the frame fits your nose.

Finally, “140” is the temple length, or essentially how long the temple arm is in order to hook over your ears.

Comparing these number in your current glasses to those provided in our listings will help you feel confident in selecting the right pair for you.

We specialize at Oliver & Alexa in Deadstock and NOS (New Old Stock) frames, which means that these frames are authentically vintage (at least 20-years-old and often more than a half-a-decade or older) but were never lensed or worn, but instead sat in storage.

Deadstock and NOS frames are prized by vintage collectors because their condition is vintage pristine and they lend themselves to heat-treatment and lensing more easily.
