ABOUT PRODUCTID 1672
This crystal paperweight, dating from circa 1900–1920, is a decorative object crafted in Austria-Hungary (now Austria), exemplifying the early geometric tendencies that preceded the full emergence of Art Deco style. Made from high-quality crystal in a vibrant amber-orange hue, it features a faceted, multi-sided shape reminiscent of a cut gemstone. The surface is meticulously polished, highlighting sharp edges and flat planes that play with light and reveal the depth of the color. With no additional ornamentation or floral motifs, the design focuses on minimalist, raw geometry and the interplay of reflections. Measuring 12.4 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter, the paperweight is preserved in very good condition, showing only minimal signs of wear typical for antiques from this era. Though quiet and unassuming, this crystal paperweight carries the spirit of the transformative decades at the dawn of the 20th century, when craftsmanship and industry converged in search of a new aesthetic. Its geometric form and amber glass transparency evoke the atmosphere of modernist offices and Viennese salons. Like a suspended drop of light, it tells a story of fascination with color and luminosity, characteristic of an era when functional art began to attain decorative status. The paperweight may be used not only as a functional accent on a desk, but also as a highlight in a composition on a living room console. It pairs well with other crystal or metal accessories in interiors referencing Art Deco, or in eclectic, collector-oriented spaces where bold decorative details are valued.
