A lorgnette is a pair of spectacles. With a handle, used to hold them in place, rather than fitting over the ears or nose. The word lorgnette is derived from the French lorgner , to take a sidelong look at, and Middle French, from lorgne , squinting.

They were invented by Englishman George Adams. The lorgnette was usually used as a piece of jewelry. Rather than to enhance vision. Fashionable ladies usually preferred them to spectacles.

These were very popular at masquerade parties. And used often at the opera. They were worn popularly in the 19th century.
