A rare English Georgian antique sterling silver and shagreen spectacles or glasses case. The silver is unmarked but tests as high grade silver. I would date it to c1800. It has been superbly made and still has its original retail label inside the lid relating to an Opticians to the King at the High St Portsmouth. It is in super condition being free from dings splits and repairs. It measures over 5 inches (13.2cm) tall by 1.75 inches (4.4cm) across by almost 1 inch (2cm) wide and weighs 46 grams. A superbly designed rare piece.
