Paperweight c. 1845 - 1860

This "Paperweight" is a striking example of 19th-century French glassmaking. Made by Compagnie de Saint Louis, it features a delicate floral motif of pink and blue flowers and green leaves against a white, lattice-like background, creating a sense of depth and dimension. This exquisite glass paperweight, crafted with the "Millefiori" (thousand flowers) technique, is a beautiful example of the intricate artistry of glassmaking during this period. It's a reminder of the intricate craftsmanship and artistic beauty found in everyday objects.
