A beautiful vintage pair for collectors and enthusiasts of classic B&L-era Ray-Ban eyewear. The Ray-Ban W2851 Sidestreet Tea Cup belongs to the late Bausch & Lomb era of Ray-Ban and is generally dated to around 1998. It is one of the distinctive late-1990s Sidestreet designs, combining a refined metal front with patterned acetate temples. The W2851 is particularly attractive to vintage Ray-Ban collectors because it comes from the final period when Ray-Ban was produced under Bausch & Lomb in the USA, before the brand was acquired by Luxottica in 1999. The original B&L mineral lenses are one of the defining features of these vintage models. The engraved “BL” markings on both lenses are a characteristic detail of Bausch & Lomb-era Ray-Ban eyewear. The W2851 has a sophisticated, slightly oval “Tea Cup” silhouette and an unmistakable 1990s aesthetic. Its combination of metallic gold-tone framing and tortoiseshell acetate makes it a particularly distinctive example of the Sidestreet series.
