Lot 106
Antique Val St. Lambert patterned millefiori paperweight,
in a star pattern, with many white Clichy-type roses, on
opaque scarlet ground, framed by segments of colored twists in
bright red, white and blue. "These paperweights do not
turn up very often at European or American auctions; so one must
assume that, unless they are secreted in great numbers in Belgian
households, not very many were made. Canes include star rods,
crimped canes, and an assortment of pastry molds. At first glance
they vaguely resemble Clichy canes, but after more careful scrutiny
they are easily distinguishable." -The Encyclopedia
of Glass Paperweights.
Diameter 3 1/2". $1400-2500 |

Lot 107

filigree design inside a crystal globe, with hundreds of precisely
placed bubbles, on a fancy-cut engraved foot. "These
distinctive weights comprise a solid glass sphere whose motif
is an upright, two-colored spiral, roughly in the shape of an
egg; the sphere mounted on a base that may be plain, or engraved
with leaves, or a simple cross-hatching." See The Encyclopedia
of Glass Paperweights, p. 246. Some wear, scratches, and a warp
along the side of the sphere.
Diameter of base 3 7/16", Height 3 11/16". $900-1200 |
