This stunning magnifying glass is a masterful blend of history, craftsmanship, and function. Repurposed from an authentic Victorian parasol handle, the piece features a richly textured bamboo grip accented with an ornate sterling silver collar, delicately engraved with scrolling patterns that speak to the elegance of its era. Another unengraved sterling silver collar sits at the top below the magnifying glass.
The handle measures 8.5 inches in length and feels smooth yet tactile in hand, offering both comfort and a sense of timeless craftsmanship. At the top sits a 4-inch diameter magnifying glass, framed in a warm, worn gold-toned metal that appears to be aged brass—adding a soft, vintage luster.
Measuring a full 12.75 inches in total length, this piece is both practical and ornamental. Whether placed on a curated desk, home library shelf, or in a collector’s cabinet, it commands attention as a conversation-starting accent. The magnification is clear and functional—ideal for reading fine print, examining details in art or textiles, or simply adding a touch of luxury to your daily routine. Total weight is 8.5 ounces. Good antique condition with light signs of wear and handling. Both collars are marked "Sterling". The magnifying glass rim is unmarked and likely silverplate. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.
A one-of-a-kind accessory perfect for lovers of antique charm, steampunk elegance, or refined office décor.
