14k Yellow Gold Art Nouveau Krementz and Co Opera Glasses Lorgnette (#J5911)
Art Nouveau figural woman with daisies 14k yellow gold lorgnette with diamonds signed by Krementz and Co. It measures 4 3/4" long and 1 1/8" wide when closed or 4 1/2" when open. It weighs 23.38 dwt. Spectacular!
This lorgnette is from the Art Nouveau period c1900. This piece has a pair of folding glasses held within a repousse lorgnette encasement. Beautifully portraying the fine craftsmanship of Krementz, the front and the back of the lorgnette is wonderfully detailed in soft swirls and scrolls and has a 3-dimensional repousse appearance. The front adorns the angelic profile of a woman who has flowing locks of hair, a soft, detailed face and a garden of flowers surrounding her. The crown of her head is set with three old mine cut diamonds, and two additional diamonds are set in the center of two of the blooming flowers. The diamonds measure about 1.3mm, 1.4mm and 3-1.5mm. The back of the lorgnette carries a complimentary design with a garden of flowers and in the center are the hand engraved initials "KCG". The eye glasses fold in half and are hidden within the gold encasement, opening easily with a simple push of a button located on the side of the handle. At the end of the gold handle is a fairly large gold ring which is perfect for hanging from a chain or watch swivel hook. On the inside of the lorgnette is the Krementz hallmark and 14k.
Please note: This item may be slightly under the karat stamp due to year of production or composition variances - such as sizing or modifications - as they may affect metal purity. Vintage pieces generally have a slightly lower karat percentage than the stamp.
