Vintage opera glasses, also known as theatre binoculars.
Late 1800s or early 1900s. Opera
glasses, such as these, were commonly used in theatres or operas to provide a
clearer, more detailed view of the performance.
They are made of metal with a center focus wheel
for adjustment.
Made by the renowned optical firm
Dixey. The company, Dixey, was a respected manufacturer of optical wares,
previously serving as opticians to royalty like King George III and Queen
Victoria.
The text visible in the case indicates the address
"3 Of New Bond St London".
The firm has a long history, tracing its origins
back to the 18th century, and the company still exists today.
