Baccarat Paperweight Cameo Jean Jacques Rousseau Ruby Base
Sulfide Cameo Baccarat paperweight depicting Jean Jacques Rousseau, a philosopher, writer, and composer of the 18th century. Signed and dated on the ruby glass base: “Baccarat France (in circle logo), The Franklin Mint 1976”
Baccarat is famous for its cameo incrustations in glass objects. Many beautiful forms were created with this exquisite artistic decor.
Baccarat Crystal began producing fine crystal objects in France around the mid-1840’s and continues to the present day.
Perfect workmanship and highly detailed cameo’s. More detail can be observed in real life than can be seen in the images. The top layer of crystal is encircled with 6 half moons creating a 3-D view of the highly detailed cameo encased within.
The Jean Jacques Rousseau paperweight is in near perfect condition with mild, expected bottom-wear on the base and 3 slight bump chiggers on side.
