Golden Tree Paperweight

. Lynden and Christine were wowed by the gold leaf embellished artworks of Gustav Klimt on a recent visit to Vienna. This Golden Tree paperweight is built up in layers of coloured glass, 24-carat gold leaf and gold dust to create a rich vibrant exclusive sculpture inspired by the famous artist.

An original piece of glass art. Excellently suited as a paperweight, collector's item or interior design accent. Handcrafted by award-winning glass artist Lynden Over in his Lava Glass Studio in Taupo, New Zealand. Each piece is signed and dated by the artist.

Height approximately 140 mm

These paperweights are built up in layers starting from the hillock on which the trees stand, up through the branches to the canopy. Finally, the whole sculpture is encased in a thick layer of clear glass. The sculpture is worked at between 800 and 1000 degrees Celsius on the end of a steel rod. The tree weight is then cooled slowly in a kiln for about two weeks.
