1 Very rare antique Baccarat 1847 close packed millefiori and Gridel silhouettes magnum paperweight. A magnificent close packed design contains a signature/date cane nestled among a vast array of assorted finely-detailed complex canes, including shamrocks, arrowheads, six-point stars, honeycombs, green leaves, crosses, whorls, trefoils, quatrefoils, cogs, two Gridel pigeon silhouettes and two Gridel lovebirds silhouettes. A ring of diamond cutting encircles the perimeter of the base, where an inner layer of white upset muslin, colored twists and a few millefiori is revealed. “This Baccarat staple is one of the most consistently interesting weight ever made, always revealing something new.” —The Encyclopedia of Glass Paperweights. “Close millefiori refers to the close vertical packing together of the canes, like people in a dense crowd. The patchwork quilt of one hundred or one hundred and fifty canes in a close millefiori paperweight offers a sampling of many or most of the canes made by a factory, and treats the eye to an almost endless variety.” — Glass Paperweights of the New York Historical Society.

All lots will be sold at one increment over the second highest bidder. Bidding will continue until all under bidders have indicated that they no longer wish to bid, the high bidder will win the lot if their bid exceeds the reserve price (see Reserves). Bids may be raised until the lot is declared closed and the winner determined. In the case of tie bids, the earliest bid received will be the high bidder. Help us complete the auction in a timely fashion by informing us of which lots you wish to drop. L.H.
