A really superb magnifying glass, a rare find and about as grand as they get. The handle is made from Tigers Eye, usually found in much smaller pieces, these are large pieces of stone used to create the handle.

The rim wrapping around the lens is very early celluloid to appear like Tortoise Shell it it's day the invention of this miracle material was celebrated and used on the finest of articles.

The handle is wrapped in a typically Victorian gold coloured mount in the form of a belt the handle terminates in a highly decorative ornate sphere with an inset Tigers Eye to both back and front.

Dating to c.1890 it remains in superb condition with a good magnification ready for many more years of use. 10 1/2" in length with a glass diameter of 4 1/2".
