Theatre binoculars - 1940-1950

Theater, 1950s. The show is about to start, and the murmur of the audience subsides as the lights dim. From the gloved hands of a lady seated in the second row of boxes, emerges this elegant theater binoculars: simple and refined, like only post-war objects could be. Made in the early 1950s, it retains a clear deco imprint in its soul: sober geometric shapes, clean lines, and that slightly hammered gold finish that discreetly catches the light. The black faux leather covering enhances its compactness and makes it precious even when closed, almost like a small vintage clutch. The optics are functional: sharp, ready to offer close-up views of rising curtains and scenes that move you. An object that has not only seen the theater but has traversed it. And now awaits a new audience to observe.
