Description

Up for auction is an elegant pair of antique Chevalier Paris opera glasses with original bag, highly collectible French optical instruments dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. This beautifully crafted set features richly detailed relief‑molded grape and vine motifs on each barrel, a classic Art Nouveau-inspired design. Constructed from mixed metals such as brass, pewter, and nickel‑plated accents, the finish shows wear consistent with age yet retains its decorative charm. The glasses remain fully functional, equipped with a smooth central knurled focus wheel. Markings such as “Chevalier Paris” and “France” affirm their origin from one of Paris’s premier optical makers. Highly valued for both display and use, similar examples often retail between $140-$220.

Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description. Feel free to reach out with any questions - and as always, happy bidding!
