Vintage Brass & Mother-of-Pearl Magnifying Glass — Map Reader / Library Desk Object

A brass and mother of pearl magnifying glass, late Victorian to Edwardian era. The handle is inlaid with panels of luminous mother of pearl set between ribbed brass collars, ending in a fluted ball finial. Equal parts scientific instrument and desk sculpture — the kind of object a serious reader keeps close, or a collector displays simply because it is too beautiful not to.
