his mid-century magnifying glass, likely of Danish origin and manufactured during the 1950s or 1960s, exemplifies functional design. The piece is characterized by its handle and frame, both made of walnut wood. The design follows an organic and smooth form, typical of the era, with a subtle curvature in the handle ensuring a comfortable grip. The selected walnut wood features deep and pronounced grain, retaining its original patina with warm tones and natural wear that highlights its character. The optical part is a traditional magnifying lens, set in the wooden frame with a refined aesthetic free of superfluous ornamentation. A notable detail is the presence of a vertical crack visible on the top of the frame surrounding the lens. This mark is a testament to its age and history and does not compromise the structural integrity of the object. This piece merges everyday utility with the high-quality design and craftsmanship typical of the mid-century.
