Antique pince-nez sunglasses

Antique Pince-Nez Sunglasses – A Glimpse Through Time

Before the modern age of sunglasses, there were spectacles like these—oval dark lenses held delicately in place by the gentle grip of a pince-nez frame. Worn by scholars, travelers, and sun-seeking wanderers, these antique pince-nez sunglasses were more than protection from light—they were a statement of presence and mystery.

Dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century, this rare piece speaks of summer promenades, handwritten letters, and train rides through sunlit landscapes. The frame still works beautifully, ready to grace a collector’s cabinet or a costume rooted in history.

A wonderful example of antique accessories with dark glass lenses and simple wire frame construction. Ready to tell its story again.

Good vintage condition, with signs of age and gentle use. The spring still functions smoothly, holding the glasses gently in place.
