A fascinating pair of antique opera glasses featuring a built-in compass set into the bridge — a charming nod to travel and navigation from a bygone era.
Constructed in brass with leather-wrapped barrels, these date to the late Victorian to early Edwardian period and carry a beautifully aged patina.
The small compass adds both visual interest and collectability, making this more than just a pair of theatre glasses — a true curiosity piece.
