The Mauris Morel 1914M captures the understated, intellectual character of 1980s French eyewear design. Its compact rounded silhouette features softly oval lenses, a gently sculpted brow, and a defined central bridge that creates a balanced, distinctive profile. The dark tortoiseshell acetate reveals subtle amber and golden-brown highlights, adding warmth and depth to the polished frame. Frame Model: 1914M (V1021) Decade: 1980s Country of Origin: France Lenses: Empty, ready for custom Condition: Excellent vintage Measurements: 44-25-135 Historical Context Maurice Morel is associated with the heritage of French eyewear craftsmanship, rooted in the Jura region, a historic centre of frame manufacturing. The Morel family’s eyewear history began in 1880, when Jules Morel created his first pince-nez frames alongside his agricultural work. During the 1930s, the family expanded into larger-scale frame production, developing its expertise in metalwork and refined construction. The wider Morel tradition combines technical precision with thoughtful design, ranging from classic optical silhouettes to more expressive shapes and decorative finishes. However, the exact relationship between the Maurice Morel name and the modern MOREL brand, including when Maurice Morel-branded frames first appeared, requires further verification.
