French Leather and Brass Opera Glasses by Lemaire Fabt, Paris c.1880 /hg

Amazing pair of French-made opera glasses crafted in the late 1800s by Le Maire Fabt of Paris.  The glasses have a wonderful French-industrial feel to them and would make a great conversation piece as shelf or coffee table decor.  They have perfectly-aged leather-wrapped handholds, and the barrels are brass. 

The glasses were estate-owned and are in good vintage condition.  The are aged and the leather is showing wear, but it only adds to the vintage cool of the piece. The optics still function properly but could benefit from a detailed cleaning.  

The glasses measure 3.75”W x 1.25”H x 2.5”D.
