Introducing antique Roniette.

Roniettes are foldable glasses with two lenses that were worn by upper-class ladies.
It seems that it was also used as a fashion accessory by hanging it around the neck on a chain.

This is a beautiful sterling silver rogniette with Art Nouveau decoration.
The mechanism for the lens to pop out is good, but the part that opens the folded lens is weak and requires a little manual assistance when using it.
There is a mark on the holding part so that you can attach a chain etc.


We hope this lovely Roniette will add color to your day!
