This exceptional bronze paperweight features the iconic coat of arms of the French city of Nîmes: a crocodile chained to a palm tree – a symbol dating back to Emperor Augustus' Roman legions' victory over Egypt, which still shapes Nîmes' cityscape today.
The modern interpretation of the historical emblem was designed by the renowned French designer Philippe Starck. Crafted from bronze, the object impresses with its pleasant weight and reduced, graphic design. The reverse side is deliberately kept simple, emphasizing its sculptural character.
Whether as a paperweight, a decorative collector's item, or an object for lovers of French design – this piece combines history, symbolism, and modern design.
