Antique Dome

A late 19th century glass dome set on its original black painted wooden base, which may have once been a globe de mariée, un reliquaire d'amour - a marriage dome, that held love tokens amongst gilded wire foliage. The fine hand-blown glass contains small air bubble inclusions and imperfections, only found in antique glass, which gives the contents an ethereal quality.
