A gorgeous and rare loupe pendant from the early 18th century, possibly Dutch in origin. The loupe is made from solid silver and has a pretty floral design to the front and the back. It has a little ball lever to one side and if you pull on this, a magnifying loupe pivots out. The loupe is in excellent working order and works pretty well as a jewellers companion. It is so lovely to find such an antique example.
The chains pictured are for display only.
Details:
Materials - Silver (tested)
Age - Early 18th Century
Size - The loupe measures approx 24.5mm long excluding the attached bail, by around 12mm wide.
Condition - Excellent. Minimal wear commensurate with age
Weight - 2.5g
