About this item

A true vintage pair of mid-century browline sunglasses in the classic "combination" construction: translucent reddish-brown acetate brow bars sit over bright silver-tone metal lower rims, joined by a silver bridge with a fine textured, bark-effect finish. The soft rounded-square lenses carry a light rose-pink tint, and the flat silver temples widen into a faceted diamond shape near the hinge before ending in black acetate tips. A feminine take on the browline look that defined 1950s and 1960s eyewear.

About the style

Browline frames, with a heavy upper "brow" and a light metal lower rim, were among the most popular eyewear designs of the 1950s and 1960s, made by optical houses across Europe and the USA. This pair is unbranded (no maker's name is visible); it carries only the size stamps described below and a small maker's emblem on the temple.

Why this one is special

• Genuine vintage combination frame, not a modern reproduction
• Warm reddish-brown acetate brows over silver-tone metal: a classic 1960s colour pairing
• Textured, engraved-effect bridge and faceted temples
• Soft rose-pink tinted lenses
• Adjustable nose pads for a comfortable fit
