Antique telescopic monocular – Late 19th century
Small antique pocket monocular, dating from the late 19th/early 20th century.
Originally used to see the stage better at the theater or opera, compact and practical to slip into a pocket, with an elegant and discreet appearance.
Body in red lacquered metal, with a sliding mechanism for focusing.
The instrument is equipped with two glass lenses, cleaned and perfectly transparent: the optics are functional and the image is sharp for this type of antique object.
The paint shows significant wear, revealing the patina of the metal, which gives it an authentic charm and bears witness to its age. A simple, unsigned object, typical of the theater or walking glasses used at the time.
Condition: good antique condition, signs of use and wear consistent with age. It still works, the lenses are very clear, and the sliding mechanism is smooth.
