About the Item
A beautifully crafted 19th-century standing magnifying glass, featuring a circular lens mounted within an elegant, square wooden frame. The frame is supported by four turned spindles and is adjustable in angle, allowing for precise positioning. This piece is set on a turned wooden pedestal with a broad, round base for stability. The entire structure is composed of rich, dark-stained hardwood, showcasing fine period craftsmanship with decorative finials and traditional joinery. Originally used for reading, scientific observation, or fine handiwork, this magnifier exemplifies both form and function.
