About this item

Mid-century Italian glamour: a pair of Nilsol sunglasses in translucent orange acetate with a bold, squared rectangular front and thick, straight temples. Each front corner is set with clear rhinestones - a small cluster of three at the top followed by a diagonal line of three more down the edge of the frame. Pale yellow lenses complete the period look. Inner temple marked with the metal "NILSOL-ITALY" plaque.

Brand heritage

Nilsol was the sunglass brand of the Italian eyewear maker Sordelli & C. S.p.A., a family firm whose roots go back to 1921; the "NIL SOL" trademark was registered by Sordelli in the late 1950s. Nilsol sunglasses of the 1950s-70s are now sought after by collectors of mid-century Italian design.
