Planning notes

Set it on a leather-topped desk or a stack of books. The black horn pairs with dark wood and brass lamps.

Lay the magnifier across a stack of books or a tray so the handle shows. The curved black horn handle with brass-tone rim suits dark wood, leather and brass accents. 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 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.
