Horn Rim Gold Plated Bridge Pince-Nez
This horn rim gold plated bridge pince-nez is a striking and elegant piece of antique eyewear. It features large round horn rims with a gold plated bridge and nose springs. The frame carries no lenses, making it ready for custom fitting.
Construction and Markings
The horn rims are bold and dramatically circular — a style that reads as both vintage and surprisingly modern. The gold plated bridge and nose springs are in good condition. The underside of the bridge is marked “Torshell.” This likely represents either a company or a model name.
An Exceptional Movie Prop
This horn rim gold plated bridge pince-nez is very lightweight despite its substantial appearance. It would make an outstanding movie or theatre prop. Period productions, costume designers, and photographers frequently seek frames of exactly this style. The dramatic round horn rims photograph beautifully.
Lenses and Wearability
The frame currently has no lenses fitted. Any optician can easily add prescription or plain glass lenses. The nose springs hold the frame securely without temples or ear pieces — the defining feature of all pince-nez eyewear.
