About this item

A 1970s Persol in glossy black acetate: a generous, softly squared frame with a sculpted double-line brow, solid brown lenses, the signature silver Persol arrow on the front corners and Meflecto flexible temples marked by the thin silver lines behind the hinges. Size stamp inside the temple begins 52 (lens width), with an additional gold imprint in Arabic script from the original retailer.

Brand heritage

Persol takes its name from the Italian per il sole ("for the sun"). The company was founded in Turin in 1917 by optician and photographer Giuseppe Ratti, first making protective eyewear for pilots and sportsmen. In the late 1930s Persol introduced the Meflecto flexible temple and the Silver Arrow, which remain the brand's signatures. Frames from the Ratti era are prized by collectors for their build quality.
