Part I: A ntique Paperweights and R elated Objects 1

1 Extremely rare antique Baccarat interlaced millefiori trefoil garlands on stardust ground paperweight. Beautifully executed, a red and white bull’s-eye cane, at the heart of a white stardust cane, initiates the delicate spread of a white stardust carpet ground that briefly gives way to a circle of sky blue and white complex canes and then to two interlaced trefoil garlands, one of green arrow canes and the other of coral-colored bundle canes with star centers. From Sotheby’s, London, 28 October 1968, lot 61. Exhibited: Sotheby’s, London, The Batiste Collection, 16th-24th November 2000. See Baccarat Paperweights: Two Centuries of Beauty, page 60, figure 194. Excellent condition. Diameter 3 1/8" $15,000—20,000

2 Antique Baccarat 1848 scattered millefiori and Gridel silhouettes on red carpet ground paperweight. Various complex canes, including the Gridel silhouette canes of a deer, a horse, a pheasant, a goat, a rooster, a moth and a flower picture cane, are scattered across a red carpet. Each red and white cane of the carpet is centered by a blue and white six-pointed star. Signature/date cane. In 1847, Joseph Emil Gridel, the nine-year-old nephew of Baccarat manager Jean-Baptiste Toussaint, cut out eighteen different animals he had drawn and was pasting them onto paper when his uncle spotted them. The designs eventually became models for silhouette cane molds. In 1848, M. Toussaint was able to give the young artist a paperweight containing fifteen of the animals. Gridel grew up to be a famous painter and today his work can be found throughout Europe. Excellent condition. Diameter 2 7/8" $9,000—12,000 Winter 2019

This reminds me that there is always more than one way to look at life”. The piece is the fruition of 18 months of contemplative labor, stemming from a longheld adolescent dream of the multi-talented artist. It required weeks of sawing, grinding, sandblasting and engraving to prepare the exterior and hollow hill. Excellent condition.
