An exquisite pair of antique French Colmont enamel opera glasses with extending handle. The enamel work is spectacular, done in rich colors and minute detail.

Beautiful mother of pearl panels surround both eyepieces, even the tip of the handle is accented with mother of pearl. In wonderful condition with just some black paint loss to the bottom of one barrel. Marked Colmont and a star logo.

The binoculars alone measure about 4" in width from barrel to barrel, about 1 7/8" in height and can extend to a height of about 2 3/8" in height. Lorgnette handle measures 4 5/8" long.

When the lorgnette handle is extended the length is 6 1/2".
