Description:
A Beautiful and wonderful collection of 57 Vintage Paper Weights or "letter weights". Years range in the early 1900's. Paperweights are in great condition and sold as a lot only. A wonderful find and priced to sell, they "average" $175.43/each. If you're interested in this item and would like additional pictures, or have any questions, please feel free to email me through GoAntiques and I'd be more than happy to respond to your request. One of many wonderful guide books I own to help research these artistic and historical pieces of art, is a book called "Paperweights Of the World". In this book they note that the director of the timehonored Cristallerie de SaintLouis, Geral Ingold, himself a devoted paperweight collector and connoisseur, wrote; "Whoeever has the ability to make emeralds and sapphires arise out of glass, captures the tones of color that only occure fleetingly in nature, the real and unreal shapes and colors, in an object no bigger than the palm of your hand-he may be only a modest magician, but he is a magician all the same". A perfect and true description, each paperweight is unique and a work of art. This lot is perfect for the true collector, or to start a life time collection of your own. Enjoy the pictures I've included and thank you for viewing this item. Have a happy and safe New Year.
