The lenses have a slightly yellowed tint, enhancing the overall vintage character. The perfectly circular shape of the lenses and the thinness of the temples, which cross at the front in the photo, evoke the stylistic codes of eyeglasses used between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe straight, narrow bridge discreetly connects the two circles, without visible ornamentation, in keeping with the minimalist frames of that era. The temples are long and tapered, ending in a pronounced curve, designed to ensure optimal hold behind the ears. The ensemble reveals a homogeneous patina and an aged appearance, consistent with the use and antiquity of this type of eyewear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim of the lenses shows a thin frame, without apparent decoration, and the hinges are integrated simply, with no visible screws on the displayed side. No logo, brand, or inscription is legible on the visible part of the frame or lenses. The two round lenses show signs of wear, including a small dark spot visible on the right lens (left side in the photo), as well as a slight haziness, testament to their age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe item is photographed on a plain yellow background, highlighting the sobriety of the frame and the contrast between the dark shade of the material and the patinated transparency of the lenses. The general structure, the simplicity of the design, and the patina suggest artisanal or semi-industrial manufacturing, typical of period eyeglasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is representative of the round optical glasses used in the early 20th century, sought after for their retro aesthetic and authenticity. It is an optical object that is both decorative and a testament to a bygone era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.

This design was made famous by many personalities of the time and remains a symbol of retro style in optics today. The long, curved temples were designed to ensure optimal hold before the advent of modern frames with adjustable nose pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast shipping and careful packaging by a professional seller.
