Art Deco Sterling And Marcasite Combination Dress Clip / Lorgnette
Crafted in Sterling Silver and set with an array of Marcasites which are all not only present and original but in excellent condition.
Pretty engraved detail to the nose piece and detailed edging to the frames speak to the exceptional quality of this example.
Spring released via a small lever which ‘pops’ the lenses out perfectly and they fold down with a secure snap.
The magnifying lenses do ‘work’ so you can absolutely use them and when you’re finished fold them down and wear as intended as a dress clip, or pocket on your shirt or your lapel! Alternatively they could also be worn, when folded, on a fine chain as a pendant.

Please do not hesitate to ask questions prior to purchase. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that these descriptions and pictures are carefully viewed and any questions are asked prior to the transaction taking place.
