Lot of vintage retro glasses, assorted frames, used lenses, Lunoptic cases

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot brings together six pairs of antique glasses, visible in the photo, each featuring a distinct frame and a different style. The frames display a variety of shapes and colors, ranging from classic oval to 70s-inspired butterfly frames. Sober shades like black or dark blue are noticeable, but there are also more visually striking models, including an amber yellow translucent frame and a white pair with wide temples, typical of the retro style.

Among the visible elements, several pairs come with their soft cases, three of which feature the "LUNOPTIC" brand printed in white on a red or green background. The cases are made of imitation leather or synthetic material, some displaying commercial inscriptions and contact details of the Lunoptic store. A two-tone rigid case (burgundy and beige) accompanies a thin metal frame.

The temples of the glasses vary from one pair to another: some are thin and metallic, others made of thick plastic. The lenses are sometimes transparent (prescription optics), sometimes tinted (sunglasses), evoking both medical and fashion uses. A pair with a large white frame particularly catches the eye with its oversized design, a nod to vintage and retro trends.

The overall condition appears to be used, with some visible signs of wear on certain frames and cases: superficial micro-scratches, light marks on plastic surfaces, and patina on some metal elements. The colors remain vibrant and the shapes well-defined, with no apparent chips on the visible lenses.

The lot is presented on a wooden table, with a bookshelf in the background, which highlights the authentic and antique character of the pieces. No specific brand other than Lunoptic is clearly legible on the frames themselves.

Condition

Used items, sold as is. Presence of signs of use, minor wear, and patina consistent with age and use. Please observe the details visible in the photo.

Did you know? The "oversize" style of glasses, popularized in the 1970s, remains a key reference in optical design, often brought back into fashion by major houses. Colored or translucent frames were particularly popular for asserting one's personality or following retro fashion trends.
