Enquire About This Item

There’s something deeply satisfying about a well-made magnifying glass, and this one delivers. The turned rosewood handle has a rich, dark grain and sits beautifully in the hand — warm where a metal handle would be cold. The brass collar and frame have aged to a deep golden tone.

The glass lens is free of chips and provides strong, clear magnification — perfectly functional for examining small text, hallmarks, or the details of other curious objects in your collection.

A tiny nibble on the edge of the handle is the only sign of its considerable age. It has the quiet confidence of a tool that was made to last.
