AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very beautiful crystal figurine of a polar bear ('Ours Blanc'). It is a sculpture designed and made by the French sculptor François Pompon (1855-1933) in 1922. With the original mold from Pompon, this figurine was re-made by Baccarat France in the 1960s and 1970s of the last century. The figurine is 11.5 cm high, 18.5 cm wide and 6.5 cm deep. It weighs almost 1.5 kg.
The famous Baccarat France polar bear was designed by the French sculptor François Pompon (1855-1933). Pompon created his famous stylized "Ours blanc" (white bear) originally in 1922 for the Salon d'Automne. Baccarat has reissued this sculpture in clear crystal, using Pompon's original molds. The polar bear is known for its minimalist style, smooth surfaces and modern appearance, which is characteristic of Pompon's work.
This style falls under Art Deco; Pompon also worked in that era. The tight and minimalist execution gives this statue a particularly beautiful appearance!
With the statue is still the original packaging box, in which it is well protected by foam rubber. This box also exudes luxury.
The statue is carefully packed and insured for shipping.
