[ish2020]

Hi to you all I have just registered so am a newby here, I am struggling to identify an inkwell paperweight purchased recently
The photo is of the stopper top there is a date cane in main body in middle of cane set up of 1852
It has a broken off pontil
Would appreciate any help to identify, hope pics go through ok
Regards Keith

HOW Do I post 1 picture it says it must not exceed 124kb. Looks like I need help with this first !

I have put pics on eBay currently under " clichy bacaraat St. Louis French ?" For £50,000  just to stop buyers from bidding if anyone wants to take a look at photos

Baccarat Dupont period is my guess.

Definitely Dupont period Baccarat (1920s).  The eBay item is 171793240159.

Hi.  I agree typical - Dupont canes.  This piece dates to the 1920s, as Allan says.  An 1852 date rules out 'antique French', as it was not a date used at the time.  Murano also use 1852 date canes in pieces made much later.  These Dupont bottle and stopper sets are less common than the Dupont paperweights, and the ones I have seen vary in quality from slipshod to very neat!
