Georgian Pinchbeck Quizzing Glass with Floral Motif and Swivel Handle

$525.00
At Kirsten’s Corner, we love quizzing glasses, as they are functional objects that also look great when worn as jewelry. Originally used as portable magnifying glasses, quizzing glasses were worn around the neck or attached to a chatalaine. This one has a polished glass that offers a medium magnification in a pinchbeck frame, a durable metal invented in the 18th century and used often in Georgian objects of virtu. The frame is beautifully hand carved and hand engraved with floral foliate, and connects to a handle with floral engraving that mirrors the foliate around the glass. The handle swivels, a feature that makes this piece perfect for a chain, as the swivel allows it to always lay perfectly on the chain. An engraved orb ball holds the frame and handle together, bringing a balance to the piece that is pleasing to the eye. The frame has accrued a lovely patina that highlights the engraved details. 

The quizzing glass measures 3 5/16” x 1 1/2”. It weighs 16.65 grams. Unmarked.
