Rolled Gold-Filled

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. ⸻ Details: • Brand: HELIOS Optical Works • Origin: Groningen, Holland • Style: Brow-bar rimless frame • Material: 20/1000 rolled gold, 8-carat gold solder • Condition: New / Unworn (NOS) • Era: Estimated 1950s–1960s • Includes: Original vintage Helios display case • Quantity available: 4 identical NOS pieces • Ideal for: collectors, optical restorers, styling, display ⸻
