Dating and Verification
Dating: Circa 1890-1914, originating from Vienna, Austria. The dating is based on historical style and documentation. The lorgnette features the Art Nouveau design, which was popular between 1890 and 1910. Additionally, the producer, Milkovits & Cie, is listed in Lenobel's address book from 1914, which confirms the time frame for this item's production and relevance.
Verification: The lorgnette is accompanied by its original box, which bears the label of "Milcovits & Comp." This matches "Milkovits & Cie" as listed in Lenobel's address book from 1914.
