Inexpensive Eyeglasses for Stage
and Movie Props.
We receive many requests from props department for inexpensive eyeglasses that can be used by an actor portraying a poor person or someone living on the street. In addition, some scenes call for the breakage of eyeglasses. We have a good selection of eyeglasses, pince-nez, lorgnettes, vintage eyewear, and some antique spectacles. All such frames have minor defects. The defects includes, worn spots, discoloration, frames with mismatch temples, and frames that have been repaired. For stage use, these defects do not show. For movie use, these defects show only in close-up shots. The price of such frames is 50% to 70% less than the price of a frame in excellent condition.

Glasses
in Movies, Books, and on Stage.. I receive many inquries for glasses similar to those worn
by actors in movies and on stage. If the charactor portrayed is a real
life person, eyeglass frames can be found in one of the catagories listed
to the left. For fictional characters such as the one played by Laurence
Fishburne in the "Matrix,"click on Matrix samples for
images. The pince-nez frames used in the Matrix date from 1900, give
or take a few years. The prescription lenses have been replaced with
colored sunglass lenses.
"Harry Potter," Eyeglasses worn by the fictional
character "Harry Potter" are similar to a style introduced in 1880 that
remained popular until 1920. This style had a wire frame covered with
an early type of plastic called zylo. Click on Harry Potter for samples of this style eyeglass frames.
