crystal and wire 18th C magnifier       sold

• This magnifier was made of rock crystal.  Apparently easier to find and work with than glass, back in the day.
• These magnifiers were made in the early 1700s, and often in France.  This one comes with a nice paper case.  The outside red paper is hand painted.
• The magnifier measures 4" long.
