About this item

An unused pair of French oval-round sunglasses in rich red-brown tortoise acetate, with a distinctive double-bar keyhole bridge, small silver pin rivets at the hinges and solid brown lenses. The left lens still carries its original French "VERRES SURFACES OPTIQUE" sticker, confirming it has never been worn.

Brand heritage

France has a long eyewear tradition centred on the Jura town of Oyonnax, which became the country's frame-making capital in the 19th and 20th centuries. Mid-century French workshops produced elegant hand-finished acetate frames like this one, and unworn examples are now uncommon finds for collectors.
