About this item

A pair of women's mid-century sunglasses with a soft oval cat-eye shape, cut from thick translucent honey-amber acetate with darker tortoise mottling along the brow. The frame has a narrow keyhole-style bridge, two small decorative rivet dots at the top outer corner of each front, pinned metal hinges and straight temples with a visible metal core wire. The lenses are a solid brown tint. The construction (riveted front, pinned hinges, wire-core temples) is typical of European frames of the 1950s and 1960s.
