A rare and highly collectible early 19th-century Napoleonic Prisoner of War straw marquetry spectacle case, complete with its historically correct period spectacles (ca. 1795–1815). The case features intricate geometric "flame-stitch" and checkerboard patterns made from dyed straw, a classic craft practiced by French prisoners during the Napoleonic Wars. Inside is an authentic period pair of spectacles featuring a distinctive high K-bridge (cranked bridge) and folding "turn-pin" temples ending in teardrop loops, designed to fold compactly into the case. The frame is made of non-precious metal (steel/alloy) and contains its original oval glass lenses. Condition report: The spectacles are in good, functional condition with working hinges. The straw marquetry case has a beautiful patina and has retained its original colors well, showing only a few minor, small areas of missing straw fibers due to its age of over 200 years. No modern restorations or alterations.
