About the Item

Elevate a desk or library setting with this elegant antique French magnifying glass, crafted circa 1870 and notable for its exceptional scale and refined neoclassical design.

The long, tapering handle is richly sculpted with fluted and spiral elements, terminating in an engraved grip, offering both visual interest and comfortable balance in hand.
