Description

  • Henri Bergé for Amalric Walter
  • Moth Paperweight
  • incised A. Walter Nancy/Bergé Sc
  • pâte-de-verre

Condition

Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the moth presents with beautiful naturalistic detailing and intense colors. The pate de verre with a few minor irregularities and air bubbles inherent in the making and not visually disruptive. The surface with a few minor surface scratches and light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle handling. A great example with beautiful scale when viewed first-hand.
