Description

“No sooner has the returning sun again introduced the vernal season... than the little Humming-bird is seen advancing on fairy wings, carefully visiting every opening flower-cup.”—John James Audubon (1785-1851). Inspired by the elegance of the late 19th century, this finely detailed Art Nouveau–style magnifying glass evokes the spirit of the fin de siècle, when design embraced flowing lines, natural forms and poetic symbolism. The sculptural bird motif and sinuous handle recall the decorative artistry of the Gilded Age, a time when even everyday objects were imbued with beauty and meaning. Crafted as a faithful reproduction in lightweight aluminum, burnished in bronze and verdigris, with shimmering gold highlights.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 2 reviews.
