Description from the seller

Born in 1743 at the heart of Épernay, Moët & Chandon has embodied the absolute excellence of champagne for nearly three centuries. Its mythical cuvée, Dom Pérignon – a tribute to the visionary monk who shaped the soul of the Champagne region in the 17th century – has become the universal emblem of sparkling luxury.
On every bottle, the engraved heraldic shield, with its central star and the inscription “Moët et Chandon à Épernay – Fondée en 1743”, remains one of the most coveted symbols in the world of wine and the French art of living.

This solid bronze paperweight, rare and authentic, translates this iconic shield into a three-dimensional sculpture with remarkable presence. Designed as an official promotional item and reserved for a small circle of privileged partners, it is no longer produced today – making it a sought-after collectible, a witness to a vanished craftsmanship.

The bronze, naturally patinated by time, reveals a warm golden hue and a depth of material that reinforce its vintage and exclusive character. The base, also in bronze, is lined with a protective felt, allowing an elegant presentation on a desk, a bookshelf or a tasting space.

More than a simple accessory, it is a fragment of the Maison’s history, a prestigious piece that evokes the Dom Pérignon universe: rarity, heritage, sensuality of materials and timeless excellence.
