ANTIQUE CLICHY FACETED CONCENTRIC MILLEFIORI PAPERWEIGHT WITH 11 ROSES. Antique Clichy Faceted Concentric Millefiori Paperweight with 11 roses. This wonderful antique Clichy concentric millefiori paperweight has a classic arrangement of three concentric rings of complex millefiori around a blue pastry mold cane. The inner ring has eleven green and white roses. The second ring consists of fifteen pink pastry mold canes. The outer ring has an alternating pattern of 24 canes with six purple pastry mold canes and 18 pink and green canes. The 18 pink and green complex canes resemble the color of pink and green roses. In all, there are 51 millefiori canes over a clear ground. The canes are intricate and very colorful. See the close-up picture for more detail. There are six side facets and a top facet. Clichy paperweights are highly sought after by collectors for their complex canes and brilliant colors. Clichy paperweights with rose canes are especially desirable. The Clichy factory was founded at Billancourt near Paris in 1837. Shortly after that it moved to Clichy-la-Garenne, which gave the factory its best known name. They stayed in operation until about the 1870s. Size: 2 5/8″ diameter by 1 3/4″ high. The base is ground concave. Condition: Very good condition. There are scratches and small chips on the body and chips on some of the facets, but no cracks and no impact marks. There is wear on the base. There is plenty of glass and the paperweight could be restored, but I chose not to do so. Signature: Unsigned but I guarantee this to be an authentic antique Clichy paperweight. Execution: Very good execution. The design is well centered. There are some bubbles in the glass. Allan’s Paperweights is owned by Allan Port.
