Well said, madame!
I have antique welder's goggles, but not a pair of proper opera glasses. I'd fancy these antique Lorgnette lenses by Iris of Paris from 1870. Their gold iridescent abalone shell really complements my regal taste.
I also like these gold engraved floral lenses with “The Elite Paris” etched upon the frames.
But I'm certainly open to your suggestions. (Just steer clear of the ghastly Barska and HRQP models
they peddle at Walmart.)
