About the Item

This 19th-century optical magnifying glass is a true testament to the scientific and artisanal craftsmanship of its time. Made from high-precision glass, it was originally part of optical instruments used for meticulous measurements and observations. Presented on a matte black metal stand, it becomes both a decorative and functional object, enhancing a desk, bookshelf, or study space while evoking the history and rigor of 19th-century scientific practice. Its refined shape and careful finish reveal the understated elegance of antique optics, while the stand allows it to be displayed with style and stability. Ideal for collectors, enthusiasts of period instruments, or anyone fascinated by the history of scientific tools, this magnifying glass combines authenticity, beauty, and intellectual curiosity.
