| Lorgnette Produced primarily for the fashionable ladies of the time (early 1800’s), lorgnettes were used by women who did not customarily wear eyeglasses, but needed them to see such things as the opera and reading material. Lorgnettes were made of mother-of-pearl, tortoise shell and metal (brass, silver, gold).
