AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique folding pince-nez with an original vintage case bearing the inscription “Farmacia Moderna – Genova.”
The pince-nez features a thin metal frame with circular lenses, a central folding mechanism and a side ring, typical of nose-string spectacles used at the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century.
The brown case bears on the front the inscription “Farmacia Moderna” and, at the bottom, “Genova,” a particularly interesting element for collectors of optics, pharmacy items and Italian advertising objects from the era.
Original vintage condition with signs of wear. One of the two lenses is missing.
The frame has never been restored and remains in its original condition, weathered by time.
