About this item

A bold, wide pair of vintage browline sunglasses made in Italy. The thick flat-top brow bar is glossy black acetate with squared, slightly upswept outer corners, each set with a small silver-tone arrowhead inlay. The lenses sit in fine pale gold-tone metal lower rims for the classic half-rim "clubmaster" look, in a heavier mid-century Italian style. Solid neutral grey lenses. The thick black acetate temples are fitted with riveted metal hinges, two silver pin-dot rivets on each end piece, and gold-tone metal plaques on the inside: one stamped "MADE IN ITALY", the other stamped with the number "600/53".

Brand heritage

Italy has been a centre of fine acetate eyewear making since the mid-20th century, with small workshops in the Belluno and Cadore region producing hand-finished frames for many labels. This frame carries no maker's name, only the "MADE IN ITALY" plaque, so it is offered honestly as unbranded vintage Italian eyewear.

Why this one is special

• Genuine vintage Italian eyewear, "MADE IN ITALY" plaque on the temple
• Chunky flat-top browline shape with pale gold-tone half-rims, a true mid-century design
• Silver arrowhead inlays on the front and pin-dot rivets on the end pieces
• Larger 56 mm lenses, a wide fit that suits most men's faces
• Glossy black acetate still in good, shiny condition
