Product code: Qing Dynasty Silk Embroidered Eye Glass Cases - reduced outlet price
Collection of 5, circa late Qing Dynasty embroidered glass cases. Eyeglasses were always considered a luxury status item, since not everyone who needed them could afford a pair and they were emblematic of the scholar class as well. So it is just natural that these precious items were kept in a beautiful case. Two of these have the original glass “slide” fasteners. See enlargements for condition. L: 14cm/5.5in. outlet
