Vintage Vuillet Vega gold-plated glasses, old leather case, thin frame

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Old eyeglasses frame, signed Vuillet Vega Paris, visible on the left temple. The model presented features a slender structure with a gold finish, indicated as gold-plated in the keywords. The temples have a rectilinear design, with bright red temple tips that contrast sharply with the rest of the frame, offering an original graphic touch typical of certain retro models. The nose pads are translucent and mounted on metal arms, characteristic of traditional eyewear craftsmanship.

The front of the frame has a rectangular shape with slightly softened corners, emphasizing a sober and elegant aesthetic, in line with the trends of the 1980s-1990s, the period to which this style is often associated. The lenses are absent, fully revealing the golden metal structure and allowing appreciation of the thinness of the rim.

The frame comes with a hard case covered in brown leather-look material, with a speckled pattern evoking a vintage texture. The case has a simple flap and a visible central seam on the top. The set is photographed on a wooden table, in an old library setting, reinforcing the retro character of the item.

Legible inscriptions on the left temple mention: "VUILLET VEGA Paris CE Made in France," attesting to French manufacturing and the original brand. On the right temple, a model reference can be seen: "135 VUILLET VEGA."

The frame is thin, visually light, and distinguished by its combination of sobriety and colorful details on the temple tips, making it both a discreet and identifiable accessory for lovers of antique, vintage, or retro glasses. The set is offered with its original case, an element often sought after for this type of piece.

Condition
Used item sold as is. Some signs of wear are visible on the leather case (marks, patina), the frame shows slight micro-scratches from use, with no apparent structural defect on the visible front.
