An antique pair of French opera glasses with a pivoting handle by Iris of Paris. The small and elegant telescoping binoculars were crafted during the late 19th century at the height of the Belle Epoque in gilt metal with beaded bands and exquisite mother of pearl iridescent shell accents. Each eyepiece is topped with a MOP disk and the gold metal frame bears the "IRIS" mark over the company's stamped logo. These antique opera glasses are in good working condition with a central focus wheel providing adjustable optics. There is a little darkening and age-related wear on the metal surfaces. The opera glasses measure 4 in. W x 1.5 in. H x 1.88 in. D and the handle is 5.25 in. L.
