$0.00
Sold

This is an early chased gold quizzing glass, circa 1810, popular in the 18th and first decades of the 19th centuries. The fixed handle is reminiscent of a figure 8. This kind of quizzing glass would have been worn by Georgian-era gentlemen and ladies as a fashion accessory, as much as a visual aid, on chains or ribbons.  Wear this on a long chain or silk or leather cord. 

This particular quizzing glass is of a generous size, with a magnifying lens that is likely a replacement, recently repolished.

Corded necklace shown is not included.

Unmarked.

14k gold, glass.

Dimensions and weight:

● 80 mm long

●       50 mm wide

●      26 grams (total, including glass)

Period: Georgian

*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present. 

*For deliveries outside of the continental U.S., please contact us for shipping information.
