Collection: Henry Jullien

Henry Jullien embodies the finest French eyewear expertise. His frames are synonymous with refinement, precision, and durability, often crafted from precious metals and featuring handcrafted finishes. The brand's spirit is based on timeless elegance, halfway between classicism and modernity, where quality takes precedence over ostentation.

Henry Jullien was founded in 1921 in the Jura region, the historic cradle of French eyewear. Since the 1930s, it has specialized in high-end frames, with a unique expertise in 20-micron laminated gold plating, which has become its signature. In the 1980s and 2000s, Henry Jullien continued this tradition, producing eyewear in France that combines artisanal techniques with industrial innovations. The brand is one of the few to still master this specific process, giving its glasses a special place in the history of optics.

- 20 micron Gold-Coated Series: thin and resistant metal frames, gold-plated.

- Aviator frames: classic and elegant, in gold metal with tinted lenses.

- Rectangular and round shapes: very representative of the chic minimalism of the 90s.

- Combination frames: gold-plated metal and acetate, with sturdy hinges.

Henry Jullien is one of the very few eyewear makers in the world to perpetuate the technique of laminated gold plating, which consists of pressing together a thin layer of gold and a metal base. This process, more expensive than simple gilding, gives the frames a strength and brilliance that lasts for decades.

Vintage Henry Jullien eyeglasses are of interest for their French artisanal manufacture, their noble material (gold-plated), and their exceptional durability. They represent a unique eyewear tradition, rooted in the Jura region, and are both rare and timeless pieces. For collectors, they are a testament to the golden age of high-end French eyewear.
