Set of two antique desktop paperweights combining marble and natural onyx with patinated bronze sculptures dating from the late 19th century.

The first model is a bronze bust of Mozart resting on a base of gray marble, a rather rare marble, and the second is a floral composition on a base of aqua-green onyx.

The set is in good condition, just a chip on the gray marble and minor wear.

Lot de deux presse-papiers de bureau anciens alliant marbre et onyx naturel et sculptures en bronze patiné datant de la fin du XIX eme siècle. 

Le premier modèle est un buste de Mozart en bronze reposant sur une base de marbre gris, un marbre assez rare et le deuxième est une composition florale sur une base d'onyx vert d'eau.
