Relevance & Rarity
Silhouette was among the few European eyewear houses pioneering lightweight design and vivid coloration during the late 80s and 90s. The M1149/20 model—with its softly cat-eyed curvature, sculpted bridge, and layered acetate front—embodies this innovation. Its gold “S” logo detailing and metal hinge inserts elevate it further, representing the peak of Austrian eyewear craftsmanship.
This model is rarely found in unworn, original condition—making it both a collectible piece and a wearable icon of late-century European design.
