I have not found any makers or retail marks and to be honest this surprises me as the quality of these glasses is outstanding, i estimate that these opera glasses were either made in france or england and date to circa 1890 1910. The condition is almost mint with no chips to the enamel or the mother of pearl, no dents, no splits, no cracks, no holes and no repairs that i can find, the side handle and mechanism both extend and retract with ease and are both working perfectly, the lenses are clear although as these opera glasses are a used antique they do have some very minor wear along with the signs of age as well as a patina that is to be expected and a gentle clean would not go amiss. Personally i think that this wonderful pair of opera glasses can still be used today and that the overall condition is out of this world considering that they are over 100 years old. This spectacular quality antique pair of gilded guilloche enamel & mother of pearl decorated opera glasses circa 1890 1910 are some of several antiques that i have listed.
