DESCRIPTION
A refined example of Cartier's iconic vintage round sunglasses, featuring a gold-plated metal frame in the 55-18 size configuration with signature burgundy acetate temple arm tips — hallmarks of Cartier's most celebrated eyewear era. The tinted lenses offer a deep blue-green cast with excellent reflective quality, consistent with period-correct mineral or high-grade optical glass. The bridge plate bears the 'Cartier Paris' engraving alongside the CE conformity mark, affirming authentic European manufacture from the early 1990s. A wearable luxury collectible equally at home in a curated archive or on the face of a discerning collector.

CONDITION REPORT
The sunglasses present in very good vintage condition with gold plating intact and showing only minor surface wear consistent with age and prior use. Lenses display light surface marks visible under close inspection but remain optically clear with strong reflective quality. Burgundy acetate temple tips and clear acetate nose pads are present and intact with no cracking or significant deterioration.
