Synopsis
Since the 1850’s, paperweights have been collectibles for many reasons: their exquisite aesthetic appeal, investment value during inflationary times, the intellectual challenge of their history and acquisition, a unique gift selection. This catalogue includes thoughts on the art of paperweight collecting, a selected bibliography of books and periodicals for the collector’s library, and suggested accessories to facilitate collecting. Also provided is a reference list of contemporary Baccarat sulphides and Gridel animal subjects with their issue date, as well as Cristal d’Albret and Saint Louis sulphide subjects. The alphabetically listed contemporary artists, studios and companies are briefly described, and their individual histories, locations, philosophies and unique artistic features are outlilned. A glossary of paperweight terminology completes the textual component of the book, all in addition to magnificent full-color photos of both the finest contemporary limited editions and classic, museum-quality weights from the 1840’s. All in all this book is the perfect reference for both the experienced collector and the novice.
