Description from the seller
René Lalique Sparrow Brooch/Bracelet - Art Deco, 1929
Elegance, light, and French heritage.
This sumptuous molded-satin crystal brooch, adorned with a delicate sparrow, is an emblematic creation of René Lalique, master glassmaker and silversmith of Art Deco. Designed around 1929, this model is referenced in the Marcilhac catalogue, a reference work devoted to Lalique’s œuvre.
At the center of a perfectly balanced circular dish stands a small bird, frozen in a peaceful pose. Each feather, every curve bears witness to Lalique’s technical mastery and artistic sensibility, who knew how to transform crystal into visual poetry.
With its pared-down, geometric style faithful to Art Deco codes, this brooch is not a simple utilitarian object: it is a miniature work of art, an invitation to discreet luxury and contemplation.
