About this item

A genuine 1970s pair of Viennaline sunglasses, model 1036, made in Austria. The large, softly squared butterfly lenses sit in a translucent frame that glows honey-amber at the bridge and deepens to a warm reddish brown at the outer rims. Flat polished aluminium temples with triangular silver hinge plates and clear tips give the design its clean, period-correct Viennese look, and the light blue tinted lenses make it a real statement piece.

Brand heritage

Viennaline was the eyewear label of the Austrian maker Wilhelm Anger, the company that developed Optyl, the lightweight heat-memory frame material of the late 1960s. Through the 1970s Viennaline frames were made in Austria and the brand also produced eyewear under licence for major fashion houses, which is why vintage Viennaline pieces are now sought after by collectors of 70s eyewear.
