About Vintage Gaspari Glasses
Gaspari designed antique glasses between the 1930s and 1960s with a focus on fashionable glasses for women. Although Gaspari never made a name for themselves by introducing new styles, these vintage eyeglasses are among the best representations of styles during the mid-1900s.
When looking for vintage glasses, you can find many popular styles made by Gaspari, including:
- Rimless Glasses
- Cat Eye Glasses
- Browline Glasses
- Combination Glasses
Most antique Gaspari glasses have gold filled frames made by layering thin sheets of gold until the desired shape and thickness is reached. Gaspari used 10k or 12k gold, resulting in high quality glasses that have retained their lustre over the years.
By the time Gaspari was producing glasses in the 1930s, aluminum was prevalent as a decorative accent for eyeglass frames due to its affordable price and attractive coloring reminiscent of silver. Gaspari used aluminum for brow pieces, temples, and rims. In Gaspari advertising, the designer toted the gold base as ideal for elegance and strength while the aluminum accents provided color that matched contemporary trends.
A few very rare Gaspari eyeglasses were made of silver instead of gold, or used silver accents in place of aluminum.
As a special touch, many Gaspari glasses for women include decorative touches around the rims. Rhinestones, floral motifs, and filigree on cat eye or round glasses make these vintage glasses especially unique and give you even more ways to express yourself with vintage eyewear.
