Crafted in the style of LeMaire Paris, the binoculars feature a harmonious blend of gilt brass and black finishes, adorned with delicate foliate motifs. The central focus wheel, embellished with a knurled pattern, allows for precise adjustments. Complementing the glasses is a dark leather case, its surface bearing a subtle patina that speaks to its age.
