Georgian Silver Wig Spectacles Item number: C11024 Date: early 19th century Price: NZ$185.00 Quaint pair of spectacles with hinged side arms, and pointy ends – you shoved them into the fabric of your wig to keep them on. Many wig spectacles had loops on the end of the arms, so you could tie them together to keep them in place – these don’t seem to have had this. The maker’s name is Mason, of Essex Bridge (England). They measure 10.8 cm across the face, and 2.7 cm high. The sides are 16 cm long unfolded. Very good condition, one of the arms has a point broken off. |
