Lorgnettes are a type of reading spectacles that are held up using a handle instead of by fitting over the ears. These were very popular in the 1800's and often used for fashion reasons as opposed for vision reasons. They were especially popular at masquerade parties and regularly used by visitors to the opera.

They were created by Englishman - George Adams - and the frames and handle were often beautifully decorated and embellished, particularly as lorgnettes were most popular with women who did not want to wear spectacles.

Over the years lorgnettes change in style and shape. The original type of lorgnette, with long handles that often doubled as a case to put the spectacles into were very practical and portable. They stayed popular up until around 1825 when the handles started to become much shorter. This development came as spring-loaded fronts become more popular.
