Fine Pair of Early 20th Century Rolled Gold Folding Spectacles — Complete with Original Fitted Case

A beautifully preserved pair of early 20th century rolled gold folding spectacles, an elegant and highly functional example of period eyewear design. Crafted with slender rolled gold frames, favoured for their durability, warm tone, and lightweight comfort, these spectacles showcase the refined engineering typical of high-quality opticians’ work between the Edwardian and interwar periods.

The circular lenses sit within delicately profiled rims, joined by a sculpted bridge that folds neatly for compact storage. The arms extend into fine wire temples, designed to hook comfortably behind the ear, and collapse inward with precision, allowing the entire frame to fold into an impressively small footprint, complete with their original hard case.

Condition; Very good antique condition. Light surface wear to the frames and case consistent with age. Hinges fold smoothly; lenses clear with only minor, age-expected marks. Case interior clean and intact.
