Planning notes

Set it on a leather blotter or a stack of books. The black ribbed handle suits dark wood, and the brass-tone rim picks up a desk lamp.

Lay the magnifier across a stack of books or a tray so the handle shows. The black ribbed handle with brass-tone rim suits dark wood, leather and brass accents. Keep it on the desk rather than in a drawer, so it is within reach for use. A matching letter opener or pen cup next to it makes a small, useful desk group.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: never leave the lens in direct sun, which can focus light.
• Not a precision optical instrument: it is a desk-and-reading accessory.
• Not for wet environments.

Care

Wipe the lens with a soft dry cloth and dust the handle. Store out of direct sun.
