Needing new glasses, I was rather miffed to find that our local opticians can provide any shape - so long as you want rectangular. Best I could find was £200 for the frames only!
Looking on line, I found a UK company specialising in period styles, cost about £69 for old but un-issued stock - exactly the shape I wanted, and amazing detailing.
http://www.theoldglassesshop.co.uk/produ...Eyeglasses.html But a search on the company who made them (Willis & Geiger) turned up a USA fleabay seller with exactly the same frames - worked out at £24 including post for
two pairs without lenses, and a further search found the cheapest UK option to handle the glazing (bad eyes, need very dense lenses so gets expensive). £270 Boots, or £162 online (10% discount for 2 pairs).
If anyone is interested,
