ABOUT PRODUCTID 1773
This crystal paperweight from the early 20th century, crafted in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, exemplifies refined Art Nouveau glassmaking. Fashioned from transparent crystal glass with a subtle greenish hue, the piece has a cylindrical shape measuring 12.4 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter. Its surface is adorned with multiple geometric facets that refract light with a prismatic effect. Inside, a delicately composed floral arrangement is suspended in multicolored mosaic glass—vivid reds, oranges, and yellows interwoven with white and hints of green, all set above a base shimmering with gold and silver flecks. The precision of craftsmanship is evident in the sharp facet edges and the mirror-smooth, polished finish. The paperweight remains in excellent condition, showing only minimal signs of use with no chips or cracks. Within this glass miniature resonates the spirit of the fin de siècle, when Art Nouveau was reshaping the visual language of both cities and interiors. The faceted walls capturing the morning light, and flowers seemingly frozen in crystal, evoke an era when even utilitarian objects became canvases for artistic expression. The paperweight tells a story of longing for nature, organic lines, and the joy of color composition so cherished by the artisans of the Secession. This piece may be showcased as a decorative accent on a classic desk, sideboard, or in a collector’s study. It pairs beautifully with other late 19th- and early 20th-century objects—bronze lamps, Art Nouveau
