Early 19th Century Georgian British Antique Sterling Silver Small Glasses by Mary Ann Holmes
SKU: 202507045518
Here are some antique glasses.
These are very old glasses that are thought to date back to the Georgian period in England in the early 19th century.
These are very simple reading glasses with a single bridge and no nose pads.
The temples can be expanded and spread out, and at the time they were secured in place by being clamped under a wig, which is why they were designed like this.
The temple is hallmarked for pure silver by the Royal Assay Service.
We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
