Antique EDWARDIAN FRENCH GLASSES, silver plate, with original hotsell Grenoble, France hinge case, oval lenses and thin curve around the ear arms.

French reading glasses with silver plate frames, oval lenses, curved bridge and hook over the ears arms. These eyeglasses are from the early 1900s and come with their original case.

These antique glasses are in very good condition overall, considering their age. The bridge has the makers mark 'Cousli' and the number 10 indicating 10grams of silver was used in plating the glasses. The silver plate has worn away a little on the inside of the bridge, and at two places on the arms. The lenses are prescription for seeing close up. We would anticipate you would replace them with your own prescription or clear glass for costume purposes if they didn't suit your eyesight.

The case is original to the glasses. It has a metal hinged flip up section at one end for access. On the front is written 'Antoine Cassera, 1 rue Montorge, Grenoble' (France), which is at the centre of the city.

As is typical of pre-mid century, these glasses are on the small side. Please check measurements carefully, particularly frame width and arm length, as we do not accept returns for eyeglasses not fitting.

Frame Width: 10 cm / 4 inches
