Sycamore Brass-Tone Magnifier with Ivory Turned Handle

A desk magnifier with a brass-tone rim and a turned ivory handle that looks at home on a library table.

A desk magnifier with a round lens in a brass-tone rim and an ivory handle turned in graduated beads, capped in black. It sits in a pen tray or on a stack of books and is ready for fine print.

At 9 in long it is a full-size reading accessory. The ivory handle is the light counterpart to the Primrose black one. It works as both a tool and a display piece.

Planning notes

Set it on a leather desk set or a tray. The ivory handle is light against dark wood, and the brass-tone rim picks up a lamp.

Keep it within reach rather than on a high shelf, so it gets used. Pair it with a lamp and a notebook for a reading vignette. In a library, lay it on an open atlas or a leather-bound book for a classic display. Check that it sits where sun cannot hit the lens, which can focus light and heat.

Who this is not for

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

Care

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