Antique Val St. Lambert Millefiori Magnum Paperweight
This exquisite Antique Val St. Lambert Millefiori Magnum Paperweight is a true collector’s gem, featuring a vibrant and complex millefiori design encapsulated in a crystal-clear glass dome. Originating from the prestigious Val St. Lambert, renowned for their fine glasswork, this piece reflects the artistry and mastery of early 20th-century Belgian glassmakers.
The interior of this magnum-sized paperweight bursts with an array of intricate floral patterns, each meticulously crafted to showcase a rich palette of colors, including deep reds, blues, and yellows. The millefiori technique, meaning “a thousand flowers” in Italian, involves creating cross-sectional patterns from multicolored glass rods, an art form perfected by Val St. Lambert’s craftsmen.
Ideal for display in a curio cabinet or as a centerpiece in a collection, this paperweight not only serves as a functional object but also as a magnificent piece of art. It captures light beautifully, making it a striking decorative item that brings a touch of historical elegance and artisanal charm to any setting. 2 3/8h x 4 1/8w
