SALE Marble and Metal Vintage Paperweight Souvenir of Paris

Collectibles : Metalware

 

Bring a little bit of Paree to your home or desk with this cute little rendition of three famous city landmarks, each cast in metal and standing on a beautiful marble base. This heavy paperweight measures 5 1/8 by 2 7/8 inches, and stands 3 1/2 inches tall at the tip of the Eiffel Tower. The tiny "Paris" emblem on the front appears to be made of plastic, the only giveaway that this piece probably dates a little bit later than one might think at first glance, probably to the late 1940's or early 1950's.

The marble base is in nice vintage condition with no visible chips or cracks. Close inspection reveals a couple of spots of oxidation to the buildings on either side (evident in photos), but not enough to detract from its presentability.

Offers Welcomed!
