About this item

A striking vintage Silhouette frame, model M 1269, with a bold flat-top brow bar and temples in black, white and grey mosaic-marble acetate. Below the brow, glossy black rims frame light grey-green lenses, and a fine gold-tone metal line runs along the top of each lens for a crisp Art Deco touch.

The inside temples carry the full factory markings: M 1269 /20, C 2121, 59□13 140, FRAME AUSTRIA and the Silhouette script logo.

Brand heritage

Silhouette was founded in 1964 in Linz, Austria, by Anneliese and Arnold Schmied, who set out to turn eyewear from a simple visual aid into a fashion accessory. The company has remained an independent, family-run Austrian business and is known worldwide for precise, lightweight frames made in Austria.
