A decorative magnifying glass of Chinese export style, featuring a circular glass lens. The lens is secured within a silver-toned metal mount heavily decorated with intricate wirework filigree and polychrome enamel. The base of the mount is embellished with a central pink-enamelled flower head, likely a peony, surrounded by green foliage and scrolling wirework. The cylindrical handle is decorated with cloisonné-style enamel, displaying floral patterns in pink, yellow, and green against a cobalt blue background. The handle terminates in a matching decorated end cap. No maker’s marks or hallmarks are visible. The piece is housed in a modern red rectangular presentation box with a textured finish and a black flocked interior.
