About the Item
A pair of stunning miniature binoculars, or opera glasses, crafted from brass and clad in iridescent mother of pearl inlaid pieces. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, this practical accessory was a must-have for any member of the elevated social classes, and was designed to be used at the opera house for a better view of the onstage performances. Still in excellent working condition, they would make an excellent addition to the shelf of any serious theatre or music lover, or a unique gift.
