A pair of tortoiseshell lorgnettes with a folding arm. This style of spectacles would be used mostly for seeing things at a distance as in the theater or opera, they would also be used as an affectation, as an attempt to look superior. The handle has a small ring at the end so they could be attached to a chain or ribbon, to wear around your neck
 
Condition is good. 
 
Dimensions : 25cm when folded
