Original vintage Lemaire “Fab Paris” French opera glasses, a classic piece of 19th–early 20th century theatre optics and a highly collectible example of Parisian optical craftsmanship.
These opera glasses extend smoothly and can still be used functionally, though due to age and internal dust they are best regarded as a collector’s or display piece rather than a modern optical instrument. The leather‑covered barrels and patinated metal components show attractive, honest ageing consistent with age.
