Description from the seller

a refined selection of three vintage eyeglass cases, each representing a different era and style. An ideal lot for collectors of virtù objects or vintage fashion accessories.
​Details of the pieces:
​Case in Tortoiseshell and Brass (19th Century): The most valuable piece of the lot. Characterized by a gilded brass structure with a central tortoiseshell insert (or high‑quality tortoiseshell‑effect Bakelite), decorated with incised scroll motifs. The style recalls the Napoleone III period.
​Brass Eyewear Case with Floral Enamel: Elegant rigid case in gold-colored metal with a floral enamel decoration on the front. The rounded shape and snap closure make it a piece of great retro charm, probably dating to the mid‑20th century.
​Black Silk Pochette with Embroidery "Petit Point": Refined soft case in black silk or satin, adorned with a central hand‑embroidered medallion with floral motifs in tiny stitching (petit point). Snap closure in gold-colored metal.
