Description

Not only do they ‘look the part’, but with PC lens of 2.0 strength, they are great for completing crosswords, reading miniscule writing on restaurant menus, or trying to look intelligent! Pince nez were prevalent in Europe during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries and unlike most styles, they stay firmly in place by resting on the bridge of the nose, hence the derivation of the French for ‘nose’ and ‘to pinch’ W:10cm x D:5cm x H:4cm
