Antique Victorian Sterling Silver & Horn Magnifying Glass

A grand antique Victorian era sterling silver and cattle horn magnifying glass. A heavy glass lense encased in a thick stainless steel frame, the handle has been adapted from a walking cane and is made from cattle horn (Bos Taurus) with a finely engraved sterling silver rim and a repousse pommel finial. It is a larger size with a good sized lense. Heavy and solid, a well made piece, with good magnification though unsure of the strength. A lovely antique piece that would be a fine addition to any desktop and would make a wonderful gift. Fully hallmarked for sterling silver, Birmingham Assay office, maker Julius Kilnkhardt, 1895.
