info Oliver Goldsmith Eyewear started over 75 years ago and are still going today. Perhaps their peak period was around the time this pair was made, when movie stars and Royals were wearing OG designs. This pair looks to be late 1960's and although very much a British designer, he had his glasses made on the continent as well as here, this pair made in France. (You can read more about the history of OG sunglasses on their new Oliver Goldsmith Sunglasses site, which do remakes of the old designs, but not this one.) Dante is in a beautiful dark tortoise colour, slightly wrapped with wide sides accommodating a sturdy hinge with star head pins. Extremely lucky to have found it having never been worn. Oliver Goldsmith frames and sunglasses are now exhibited in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. BONUS: we've had Dante before and the kustomer kindly sent us his photo at the Trooping of the Kolor. — klasik |
