About the Item
This mid-century magnifying glass, likely Danish and manufactured during the 1950s or 1960s, is an example of functional design. The piece is defined by its handle and frame, both crafted from walnut wood. The design follows an organic and smooth shape, characteristic of the era, with a subtle curvature in the handle that ensures a comfortable grip. The selected walnut wood features a deep and marked grain, retaining its original patina with warm tones and natural wear that underscore its character. The optical part is a traditional magnifying lens, set within the wooden frame with a refined aesthetic free of superfluous ornamentation. A relevant detail is the presence of a visible vertical crack on the upper part of the frame surrounding the lens. This mark is a testament to its age and history, and it does not compromise the object's structural integrity. This piece merges everyday utility with the high-quality design and artisanal execution typical of the mid-century period.
