Details
The Dunhill DU52102 is a sleek 1990s sports-inspired frame with a streamlined wraparound silhouette and a strong, aerodynamic profile. Its deep black construction is paired with original grey lenses, while the visible titanium detailing adds a technical touch to the design. Preserved in deadstock condition, this example retains its original lenses and period construction. Frame Model: DU52102 Decade: 1990s Country of Origin: Italy Lenses: Original grey lenses Condition: Deadstock Measurements: 67-16-125 Historical Context Founded in London in 1893 by Alfred Dunhill, Dunhill evolved from a maker of motoring accessories into one of Britain’s defining luxury houses for men, built around craftsmanship, functionality, and refined design. The brand’s aesthetic has remained distinctly British, favoring understated elegance, tailored sophistication, and meticulous attention to detail rather than overt ornamentation. Dunhill began producing designer eyewear in the late 20th century, with vintage collections manufactured in established European optical centers including Italy and Austria. These frames translated the house’s masculine luxury into elegant aviators, classic optical silhouettes, and restrained geometric forms that complemented its broader design language. Italian and Austrian-made vintage Dunhill eyewear remains representative of the period when British luxury styling was combined with the exceptional craftsmanship of Europe’s leading eyewear manufacturers.
