Tungsten Paperweight

Paperweights are decorative objects, designed to hold sheets of paper on a surface to prevent wind from blowing them away. Tungsten paperweights have a long history in China. It can be traced back to the birth of paper.

In ancient China, tungsten paperweights were necessary equipment in sanctum. For one of the reason was Chinese paint art and handwriting always use brush and larger paper. Popular size of paper may 300mm x 500mm, and the large size paper may be larger than 2000mm x 1000mm. Tungsten paperweights are now important addition to "wen fang si bao" (the four treasures of the study, i.e. writing brush, ink stick, ink slab, paper), were very important for everyone who can read and write.

In the West, first documented appearance of paperweight can be traced to the Exhibition of Austrian Industry held in Vienna in 1845. Tungsten paperweights of Pietro Bigaglia of Venice were displayed at this exhibition. Knowledge of their existence was reportedly soon brought to the attention of the Saint-Louis glass factory in France.

Tungsten paperweights are polished with diamond tools, and it takes a brilliant high polish and resists scratching longer than any metal ever offered to the public. Roughly ten times harder than 18k gold and four times harder than titanium, tungsten paperweights will never bend or lose their shape. Paperweight made of tungsten can be last for a long time.
