Abdu just got these in Morocco. They are available. A splendid and rarer style than normally found.

A gorgeous pair! About how old would they be?

I would say around 100 years old.

They really are in amazing shape for their age - if only the wearers would age that well, too :)

Thank you, Hillary!
