Title: Help to ID Old French Miniature MillefioriPaperweight Car Boot Find
Post by: mhgcgolfclub on August 28, 2016, 05:14:11 PM

I pretty certain that this is an old French miniature millefiori paperweight a car boot find . My first thought was Baccarat or possibly Clichy but not really sure so help need please.

Not in the best condition with several surface knocks.
Diameter 45mm or just over 1.75"
Height 33mm or approx. 1.25".

Thanks Roy

Hi Roy

I am am fairly sure that that is a Baccarat piece.  There is the question of age - ie classic period, or 1920s, but I suspect it is classic period 1845 - 1860.

Fabulous find.  I found a Clichy paperweight at a car boot for £1.  It was my best find ever :)
