I wouldn't have thought that a 49mm lens was particularly small, since
54 mm is considered quite large. I've been wearing lenses in the 38-46
mm range (frame width 125-130 mm), and my face isn't that small. When
heavy glass was the only choice for lenses, small lenses were much
more common, and I think the frames from that era tended to be more
elegant. Now we have huge widths and tiny heights, so that everybody
looks like they're wearing oversized half-frame reading glasses.

I've never figured out how this style became fashionable in the first
place, or why it's still here after so many years.

Anyway, there is a huge selection of frames in the size range you
mentioned, and the prices are incredibly low, so it's cheap and easy
to experiment.
