Consider this rare stunning signed
Steuben
US CAPITOL DOME Crystal Sculpture/desk objét
.  A polished prismatic form is cut with a detailed three dimensional relief of the revered neo-classical US Capitol Dome.  A treasured reminder of what is important and unique about the American "experiment."  From every angle the Capitol image is multiplied and light radiates throughout.  A beautiful gift for the collector!!
The US Capitol, a National Historic Landmark--the seat of the US Congress, was completed in 1800.  The "wedding cake" dome was added in the mid 1850's to replace a smaller dome that was no longer in proportion as the building had been enlarged. This current dome is 100' in diameter and almost 9 million pounds of cast iron.  The Capitol Dome was restored from 2014-2016 at a cost of million dollars.
Eric Hilton is a highly regarded Steuben designer well known for many of Steuben's special commissions, as well as the famous sculpture "Innerland" (at it's release, Steuben's most expensive work at that time of 0,000.)  Mr. Hilton also designed most of Steuben's rare copper wheel hand engraved jewelry designs in the late 1970's. (See the "Geometric Pendant" I have listed also.) His works are in museum collections around the world (Metropolitan Museum of Art, Musee des Arts Décoratif Paris, Hokkaido Museum Japan etal.)
