Description

This exquisite antique quizzing glass is truly one of the finest we've come across! Dating back to the 19th century, it features a beautifully crafted magnifying glass set in rich rolled gold. The intricate detailing and substantial, chunky design make it an absolute treasure for any collector!
The quizzing glass generally dangled at the end of a guard chain worn around the neck and was held up to the eye to “quiz” (stare, glance, look at quizzically) people and objects. The wearer would sometimes glare at a person through his or her quizzing glass as a manner of set-down or mockery.
This wonderful piece of history would make a great pendant or the perfect addition to any collection.
