Rolled Gold Optical Frame (NOS, Holland, w/ Original Case)
 
A rare archive find: this vintage HELIOS optical frame was handcrafted in the Netherlands by Helios Optical Works Groningen — once a celebrated name in European optician circles. The frame features a delicate rimless design with engraved detailing and a refined brow-bar shape, made from 20/1000 rolled gold and soldered with 8-carat gold, as noted in its original packaging.

This piece is New Old Stock (NOS) and has never been worn. Even more exceptional: each frame comes in its original printed Helios case, complete with period graphics and intact branding. A highly collectible object for lovers of mid-century optics, display stylists, or vintage eyewear enthusiasts.
