Paperweight c. 1848 - 1855

This glass paperweight, created by the Compagnie de Saint Louis in the mid-19th century, showcases a delicate fuchsia flower encased in a swirling, clear glass lattice. The intricate detail of the flower and the elegant design of the latticework showcase the mastery of French glassmaking during this period. The paperweight, a popular decorative object in the Victorian era, is an excellent example of the glassmaker's skill and craftsmanship.
