Description from the seller
Baguier René Lalique 'Moineau' – Art Deco, 1929
Elegance, light, and French heritage.
This sumptuous molded satin-finished crystal baguier, adorned with a delicate sparrow, is an emblematic creation by René Lalique, master glassmaker and goldsmith of the Art Deco period. Designed around 1929, this model is referenced as number 1149 in the Marcilhac catalog, a definitive work dedicated to Lalique's oeuvre.
At the center of a perfectly balanced circular dish, a small bird stands frozen in a peaceful stance. Every feather, every curve testifies to Lalique's technical mastery and artistic sensitivity, which knew how to transform crystal into visual poetry.
With its clean and geometric style, faithful to Art Deco codes, this ring holder is not just a utilitarian object: it is a miniature work of art, an invitation to discreet luxury and contemplation.
