Are old paperweights worth anything?

1 Answer
Are old paperweights worth anything?
Yes, some old paperweights are worth something. For example, a 19th-century millefiori weight produced by the French maker Clichy called Basket of Flowers sold for more than $250,000 at auction in 1990. Generally, most antique paperweights will have values in the hundreds or thousands of dollars, depending on their maker, age, style, materials, condition and other characteristics. To get an idea of how much your paperweight may be worth, use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Explore a diverse assortment of antique paperweights on 1stDibs.
