AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Baccarat – Horse's head in clear crystal, signed sculpture.
Elegant and refined, this sculpture depicts the stylized head of a horse — an iconic motif of the animal world that Baccarat has established as a symbol of prestige, elegance, and refinement. The object, carved from high-quality clear crystal, showcases Baccarat's craftsmanship mastery: purity, brilliance, and exceptional transparency.
Material & manufacturing
Made from clear solid crystal, the piece benefits from meticulous cutting and polishing work that highlights the volume, shape, and depth of the sculpture. The thickness of the crystal, its density, and finish give the object a substantial weight and an impression of noble robustness — a mark of quality and prestige.
Design and style
The stylized but immediately recognizable horse head offers a harmonious balance between minimalism and expressiveness: the line of the snout, the forehead, the mane — everything is rendered with sobriety and elegance. This harmony between the geometry of the crystal and the organic rendering of the animal embodies the refined duality between glassmaking technique and artistic inspiration.
This piece belongs to the tradition of Baccarat's 'crystal bestiaries' — a collection of animal figurines that has mastered the art of blending artisanal excellence with a taste for luxury.
• Authenticity & branding
The sculpture is signed « Baccarat », in accordance with the house's tradition for all its art pieces in crystal. The double marking — often visible on the base and sometimes an original sticker — confirms its authenticity and origin.
Usage and showcasing
Whether as a collectible object or a prestigious decorative element, this sculpture perfectly suits a refined interior: an elegant office, a designer library, or a sophisticated living room. Placed under spotlighting, it captures and diffuses light, revealing the purity of the crystal and the subtlety of its volumes.
It will appeal to connoisseurs of very high-end decor, enthusiasts of animal art, or anyone looking to enrich a living space with a piece of exceptional quality, combining craftsmanship, sobriety, and timeless elegance.
