Antique Dark Rainbow Mother of Pearl French French Opera Glasses on original case – Circa 1900. This refined and evocative example of late 19th to early 20th century craftsmanship, this pair of antique opera glasses features rare dark rainbow mother of pearl panels, each displaying natural iridescence in soft hues of purple, white and gold. The gently tapered barrels are framed in warm-toned brass, now aged to a rich patina that enhances the piece’s historic character and authenticity.
