Over three hundred and fifty assorted millefiori are gathered into a prairie, bursting with colors and styles, that includes pastry molds, edelweiss, moss canes, stardust and rod bundles, among others, and an astonishing thirty rose canes of all color combinations. The beautiful flower carpet is held tightly in an alternating blue and white stave basket, pulled downward into a fine stem, atop a brass foot. Accompanied by a red velvet-lined wooden box, topped with a brass handle, lock and key. Good condition and internal flaw. Diameter 4", height 6 1/8", weight 4 lbs.

2 2 Rare antique Clichy spaced concentric millefiori on moss ground paperweight. A wine-red and white pastry mold centers a ring of six spaced millefiori, each different from the next and including an iconic pink and green rose, a white rose and an edelweiss. Two more rings ensue, interlocked in alternation and nested carefully into each other. The colorful millefiori rest on a carpet of dark green rod bundle moss canes, each dotted with a red-centered white floret. “The ground of green moss dotted with stars and florets recalls the most charming of French Touraine tapestries of the XVIth century. It does not seem possible to achieve a higher expression of art on the road of paperweight making.” —French Crystal Paperweights. “The most sought after, and undoubtedly the most striking, spaced millefiori are the moss green carpet grounds. The prize possessions of a few advanced collectors, these weights feature a ground of many small green canes contrasting jubilantly with the colorful spaced florets.”—Paperweights for Collectors.
