info Very unusal early upswept frame without a maker's mark. One would normally associate this shape with the 1960s, however the deep bridge and the type of hinge make us believe it is a lot earlier - perhaps even late 1940s. The method of sandwiching a piece of fabric between two thin sheets of clear acetate was a way of introducing incredible patterns into eyewear and here they have chosen what appears to be a printed linen with a pattern and colour that perhaps today might be described as an ethnic print. It is a mix of pastels with stronger black lines and shapes and even a splash of teal. The hinges are pinned front and sides by dual pins and the lenses are a mid-grey, glass and offer good uv protection. — klasik |
