Introducing the antique Ronniet.

The Ronyettes are folding glasses that were worn by ladies of the upper class.
It seems that it was also used as a fashion accessory by hanging it around the neck on a chain.

This is a sterling silver ronniet with beautiful Art Nouveau style decoration.
The spring for the lens extension mechanism is weak and requires manual assistance.
There is a ring at the end of the handle so that a chain can be attached, and it comes with a long, rope-like silver chain.

We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
