Die Goldene Schlange

Original text of Saint-Louis:
In this paperweight, the snake appears to be a mischievous character from a colourful cartoon. It is dressed in two complementary hues: green and red. Its head is in pale green crystal, while its body is fashioned from a combination of red and blue millefiori sugar drops.
Vigilant and alert, the hypnotic creature is coiled atop a bed of green millefiori floating above a fascinating blue setting. The latter features a generous assortment of dark blue, light blue and white sugar drops. From its post, the snake watches what is happening on the other side of the crystal.
A circle cut into the top of the crystal ball creates a magnifying effect, allowing us to discreetly observe the snake and immerse ourselves in its shimmering world. When the paperweight is moved, the elements come to life and change depending on the angle.
The gold version of the paperweight is decorated with gold arabesques that appear to be in motion. They evoke vegetation teeming with life.
The arabesques are hand-painted with 24-carat gold.
