About this item

An authentic piece of mid-century French eyewear: a soft cat eye front in thick, hand-polished deep burgundy / plum acetate with a lustrous finish, decorated with two small silver rivet dots at each outer corner. Substantial sculpted temples and dark green lenses complete a confident 1950s look.

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; by the 1950s its workshops were turning out hand-finished acetate frames in elegant shapes that collectors still prize today.
