Elegant antique reading magnifier made of marbled bakelite in a beautiful amber caramel shade, with nuanced honey reflections. Its very graphic octagonal shape gives it a typical Art Deco silhouette. The flat faceted handle harmoniously extends the whole and offers a pleasant grip. Both a reading accessory and a beautiful decorative object, this magnifier evokes the refined desks and writing accessories of the 1930s. A luminous and decorative piece, perfect on a desk or in a collection of antique bakelite.
