Cut Crystal Lorgnette Salt Bottle - Charles X Period, Circa 1820–1830

Rare cut-glass lorgnette snuff bottle - Charles X period, circa 1820–1830

An interesting small cut-glass snuff bottle featuring a miniature lorgnette integrated into its body. An ingenious pocket-sized object combining two personal accessories into a single piece.
The bottle has a flattened shape, featuring a radiating pattern of cut facets, with a gilded metal mount. It is fitted with a screw-on stopper featuring a fluted design, topped by a suspension ring.
The small lorgnette, positioned transversely in the center of the bottle, unfolds via a sliding mechanism.
A rare curiosity, representative of the 19th-century taste for small, ingenious, and multifunctional objects.
