AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This exquisite antique opera glass is a testament to fine craftsmanship from the period of Historicism or Art Nouveau. The body is entirely covered with shimmering violet mother-of-pearl shells, giving the binoculars a luxurious appearance.

The case made of brass shows a minimal, age-related patina that emphasizes the authenticity and age of the piece. The lenses and the mechanics appear to be preserved in accordance with their age.
The screw in the middle part always slips upward when extended, making it a bit wobbly when fully extended. Simply press the screw down or adjust it.
Function is given
Explicitly point out this weakness.

This collectible piece of jewelry likely originates from France.
End of the 19th century.
Dispersed by the former optician.
Emanuel Schnell, Hamburg, Germany.

Height approximately 7.5 cm
Width approximately 10 cm

The original case is already very heavily used and accordingly shows significant signs of wear.
