A stunning pair of authentic Victorian/Edwardian era opera glasses by the prestigious Viennese optician, Alois Oppenheimer. This exquisite piece features vibrant, iridescent mother-of-pearl (Abalone) paneling that reflects a rainbow of colors.

Historical Significance: Engraved with "Alois Oppenheimer" and "I. Kärntnerstr. 53 Wien". The company was one of the most prominent opticians of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and held the prestigious title of "Imperial and Royal Court Supplier" (K.u.K. Hoflieferant). This designation was only awarded to businesses that provided products of the highest exceptional quality to the Imperial Court.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The focus mechanism is smooth and fully functional. The lenses are clear. The mother-of-pearl panels are intact with no cracks. Minor age-appropriate patina on the metal parts, which adds to its authentic charm.
Dimensions:
Width: 10.5 cm
Height: 8 cm (fully extended) / 6.5 cm (closed)
Perfect for: Collectors of optical instruments, history enthusiasts, or as a unique "Something Old" for a vintage-style wedding.
