Meet the well-published Antique St. It’s also been included in Paul Hollister’s,’Glass Paperweights of the New-York Historical Society’ on page 53 with a color plate 35 Provenance: The Sinclair Collection New Hampshire at the time of the sale in 1995. At the time it was noted at the time it had minor bruises and scratches, but I have had it professionally restored to the state this fine antique deserves except for the base, which has typical base wear for a paperweight this old. As described at the time:’A rare faceted St. Louis double-clematis on Amber-flash ground weight, 19th Century. The blue clematis flower has several overlapping rows of ribbed petals surrounding a red and yellow cane stamen center. A short curved green stem has 5 leaves surrounding the flower which rests on an amber-flash ground. 5 side facets, 1 center. Weighs 1.6 lbs and is approximately 3.1″ W X 2.2″ H.
