About the Item
Paperweight Marked in Blue with W. Hessen O.Horn
A paperweight is an object that can be placed on a desk on top of papers to prevent them from blowing away. This goes back a long way, in Egypt they already used paperweight.
The word comes from French and is pronounced that way.
In French, paperweights are written in the singular and plural.
In Dutch, an extra s is only written in the plural. That s is not pronounced.
A paperweight is often made of metal, glass or stone. It is usually not too large so it can be easily stored in a drawer. It does need some weight.
A paperweight is used less and less, partly because the windows in modern offices usually cannot be opened.
In earlier centuries, when the paperweight was a common utensil, efforts were often made to make the object as aesthetic as possible.
Later it also became an art object. Eventually the paperweight fell into disuse, but is still made solely as an art object with no functional value.
The modern paperweight has therefore become a collector's item and is often designed especially for collectors. More modern materials are also used, such as polyester, laser-engraved crystal and the like.
In the years after paperweights came into use, these objects were further developed into snow globes.
