Antiques : Paperweight : Pressepapier : Art Glass : Clichy : 3 Color Swirl : 19th Century

 

There were three premier French manufacturers of paperweights; Clichy, St. Louis and Baccarat. To find outstanding examples of their weights is getting harder and harder. Additionally, most of the swirl paperweights are 2 colors. This is unusual not only for having three color swirls, but for the colors themselves. This is a wonderful piece for a serious collector. It is circa 1850. It is 2 13/16" (7.2 cm) diameter. It is in Very Good to Excellent Condition with just the usual signs of display. No flaws or damage.
