Spectacles, cased, Chinese, 1850-1930 |
||
| Description |
Spectacles may have been used in China as early as the 1100s. The arms of these Chinese steel spectacles are double folding. This means they can circle much of the head. The case is made from a material called shagreen. This is either the rough skin of certain sharks or rays, or rough leather made from certain animal hides. Shagreen is naturally grey. However, it is often coloured red or, in this case, green. maker: Unknown maker Place made: China Wellcome Images |
