Description from the seller
Sparrow – Sculpture/Crystal Baguier by Lalique
Ref. Marcilhac no. 1155 – Art Deco – Lalique France**
Splendid crystal sculpture representing a sparrow, in a typically Art Deco style, signed “Lalique France” on the base, attesting to its authenticity and production by the prestigious Lalique house, founded by René Lalique, master glassmaker, silversmith and great innovator of design in the early 20th century.
This model is identified in the René Lalique oeuvre catalog raisonné under reference no. 1149, known under the appellation “Baguier Sparrow” (historically often presented as a paperweight or ring holder), created around 1929–1930 and reproduced in Félix Marcilhac’s reference work on Lalique crystal.
The satinized and polished crystal is enhanced by a delicate sculpture of the little bird, with clean lines and a peaceful posture. Each feather, each transition of material testifies to the technical mastery and artistic sensibility characteristic of Lalique, who knew how to transform crystal into visual poetry.
Approximate dimensions :
– Height: about 7.5 cm
– Width: about 10–11 cm
– Depth: about 6–7 cm
Condition: very good overall, showing only light superfical micro-scratches on the base, typical from contact with a display case or presentation surface, without alteration of the beauty or the sculpture.
Aesthetic appreciation:
A piece representative of Lalique Art Deco spirit, this item blends naturalistic sensitivity with the pure form of crystal, making this sparrow a collectible element sought after by French glass art enthusiasts. It is well suited for a display case or a refined interior, where it will captivate with its simple elegance and artisanal quality.
