5.0 out of 5 stars
Info you won't find elsewhere,
This review is from: Paperweights: Historicism, Art Nouveau, Art Deco (Hardcover)
This book belongs in every paperweight collector's library. It covers an area I have only seen passing treatment in other works. While modern and classic are weights are discussed the main focus is on post-classic european paperweights, the category often lumped together as 'Bohemian'. Specific regions and factories are discussed. I was able to ID one of my mystery lumps with this book. Who'da thunk I had a Transylvanian paperweight!
It's very clear that English is not Von Brackel's first language but his text is not undecipherable. The photography is superb, showing how colorful these paperweights are. This book has sparked my interest in a new (to me) class of paperweights to collect. |
