Product description
This is an authentic vintage pair of glasses from the British brand Algha, handmade in the 1920s. The piece embodies the refined aesthetic of early 20th-century design. The classic round frame, model '20', is an iconic design known for its intellectual and timeless appeal.
The frame is crafted from gold-colored metal and features the characteristic 'cable temples' designed to fit comfortably and securely behind the ears. Subtle engravings on the bridge and temples attest to the craftsmanship and attention to detail typical of Algha's production from that period. The glasses come with their original, fabric-covered glasses case, which has a burgundy color with a polka dot pattern.
The glasses are in good condition commensurate with their considerable age, with an authentic patina that adds to their historical character. The frame currently contains no lenses, making it ready to be fitted with prescription or sunglasses lenses of your choice. The original nose pads are present.
As a distinctive accessory, these glasses are perfect for lovers of vintage fashion and collectors of historical objects. They add a touch of authentic, classic elegance to a personal style and can serve as a unique Decorative Object that tells a story.
