Paperweight c. mid 19th century

This mid-19th century paperweight, created by Compagnie de Saint Louis, features a cameo of a classical figure on a clear glass base. Surrounding the figure is a decorative band of blue and white flowers, a typical motif in this type of paperweight. The intricate details of the cameo and the vibrant colors of the flowers make this piece a beautiful example of French glassmaking craftsmanship. This small, yet exquisite paperweight, is a testament to the skill and artistry of its makers.
