Dating Lorgnettes help

[laurenm]

Hello everyone,
Any idea what era we are looking at here? There's a bit of a mauve hue here in the photos that is not in the real thing!
Thanks alot,
Lauren

NO help, really. But that oak leaf detail is a treat and your close-up photos are so clear!
That said, I have seen similar lorgnettes in 1920s photos, used by older women. And those I have seen in Victorian and Edwardian photos tend to be pince nez rather than lorgnettes.

I'd say the round lenses date them to about the 1920s.
