Solid and elegant

It is slightly smaller than I imagined based on the photos, but the quality makes up for it. It sits firmly on my desk and holds my sketches in place even in a breeze.

Stunning historical detail

The engraving of the Qin Shi Huang edict is incredibly sharp and clear. It adds a serious, scholarly atmosphere to my desk. The weight is perfect for holding down large sheets of rice paper without sliding.

Heavy and substantial

I was worried it might feel cheap, but this brass paperweight has a wonderful heft to it. The antique bronze finish looks authentic and matches my other study ornaments perfectly.

Beautiful but needs cleaning

The design is gorgeous and very traditional. It arrived with a slight oily residue from the manufacturing process, but after a gentle wipe, it looks magnificent. Great conversation starter.

Perfect gift for artists

Bought this for my husband who practices calligraphy. He absolutely loves the historical significance of the edict design. The packaging was also very secure and elegant.
