Description

Often described as an English 'Grand Tour' souvenir this circular paperweight was made in the mid 19th century in Derbyshire from black Ashford Marble inlaid with coloured hardstones including lapis lazuli and malachite. The quality of the inlay in this example, all of which is present, is of the highest order but, sadly, there is some damage with chips to the edges and a central knob that has been reduced in height. It is nevertheless an attractive and tactile object.
