AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large holographic prism, in Val Saint Lambert crystal, Belgium.

Rare objects, the history of Val Saint-Lambert holographic prisms is part of the tradition of Belgian fine crystal making, begun in 1826 in Seraing.

These objects have become emblematic of the manufactory's craftsmanship for several technical and artistic reasons.

Exceptional composition: Val Saint-Lambert crystal is distinguished by a high lead content (about 33%), exceeding the legal standard of 24%, which gives the prisms superior brilliance and light refraction.

This obelisk uses double crystal (a colored layer over clear crystal) cut to reveal geometric motifs or optical scenes.

This model is a feat of size, including holographic engravings inside the prism.

Excellent condition.
Height: 28 cm
Width: 10 cm
Weight: 1330 grams.
Fast, traceable, and carefully packaged shipping.
