Art Nouveau-style Ninfa magnifying glass embellished with stylised floral motifs, with an exotic handle in the shape of a naked femmes-fleur with flowing hair extending to the tip of the handle.

Art Nouveau-style pieces manufactured today by Cosi Tabellini are hand-made in Britannia Metal, a pewter-type alloy favoured for its silvery appearance and smooth surface, and commonly used during the Art Nouveau period.

A classic instrument of magnification, this pewter magnifying glass, handcrafted by Italian pewter craftsmen, is the perfect addition to a desktop, enabling the reading of small-print, as well as being a useful paperweight. It is the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys authentic and traditional objects.

The pewter handles of our magnifying glasses are attached using a special technique: the molten pewter is directly cast onto the lens to form what is really a single element in which the "hardness" of the glass of the lens discreetly dissolves into the "soft" surface of the pewter handle.
