info Although not marked as such, this Marwitz frame appears in a Degenhardt catalogue from 1968. Degenhardt & Co - based in London's West End - imported the best quality frames from Europe for sale here in the UK. 'Marwitz & Hauser' were from Stuttgart and started in 1918. It was one of a handful of high- end German makers of eyewear and became famous for superlative quality. A 1960s rolled-gold Marwitz frame of this kind underwent up to 420 separate operations in production and therefore was expensive to buy, when then also imported from Germany. This pair is the R16 in their Dark Sepia - the plastic hoods and matching temple tips a very dark brown - measures up as 49[]21 but was probably sold as their 48[]20, so not a large frame. — klasik |
