These Antique spectacles or Pince-nez (French for "pinch nose") are a style of spectacles clipped to the nose by a spring bridge. First made their appearance in the late 18th century, reaching their peak popularity by the end of the 19th century. Pince-nez were usually suspended from a ribbon or chain worn round the neck, or tied to the buttonhole of a lapel.
