A presse papier (paperweight) sporting a World War One bomb, the base of chromed iron and the bomb of chromed brass, signed E. Brandt, France's foremost ferronier, and one of the most famous French artists of the Art Deco period, who also collaborated with the likes of Daum and Lalique. It measures 4 3/4 long by 1 7/8 wide, about 1 7/8 high.

Each set of two fins is constructed from a single piece of chrome-plated brass. There appears to have been a fourth set of two fins on the top, now missing.

A closer look at the space on top where the missing fins would have been, and the signature. The condition of the chrome is very excellent overall, with tiny age-appropriate nicks over much of the surface.

Heavy enough to keep the nastiest pile of papers in place, just under three pounds!
