Paperweight Decorated In Micro Mosaic, Place Saint-pierre, 19th Century, Marble Base
This marble paperweight, decorated with a 19th-century micro-mosaic, depicts St. Peter's Square in Rome. A testament to the souvenirs brought back by travelers on the Grand Tour, it illustrates the expertise of Roman artisans in the art of mosaic.
The finely executed scene highlights the harmonious architecture of the square with its central obelisk and the basilica in the background.
The elegantly shaped marble base gives the whole a beautiful presence. A breach is visible at the back, testifying to the passage of time.
