Paperweight c. 1845 - 1860

This "Paperweight" was created by the French glass company, Compagnie de Saint Louis, sometime between 1845 and 1860. The piece showcases the company's skilled craftsmanship and intricate detail with a delicate, white, lattice-like pattern surrounding a cluster of green, yellow, and red glass. The paperweight is a prime example of the intricate artistry and detail present in 19th-century glassmaking.
