1911 King George V Era Sheffield Sterling Silver Handled Magnifying Glass
This is more than just a tool; it's a miniature piece of architectural art. This magnifying glass, crafted in 1911, features a handle that masterfully blends the precise fluting of classical columns with the flowing scrollwork of the Art Nouveau movement.
The vertical fluting at the top of the handle creates deep, layered shadows on the sterling silver surface as light plays across it. Below, acanthus leaf reliefs extend in graceful curves towards the palm, offering a substantial and warm feel when held. The base retains a pristine blank cartouche, awaiting its next owner to etch their story upon it.

• Origin: Sheffield, England
• Dimensions: Length 12.8cm / Lens Diameter 5cm
In excellent condition, the lens remains intact with no noticeable scratches. As with any antique piece, there are minor signs of age, reflecting its history. Kindly consider this before purchase.
