AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Baccarat crystal Buffalo, a symbol of the Chinese zodiac, with a presence that is simultaneously understated and majestic. This mid-sized sculpture, but with a strong visual impact, elegantly embodies the quiet strength, stability and perseverance traditionally associated with the Buffalo in the Chinese horoscope. Made in colorless crystal, it charmes with the purity of its material, the clarity of its volumes and the exceptional quality of its light.
The silhouette, deliberately streamlined and stylized, conveys with remarkable economy of lines the full power contained in the animal. The compact body, firmly planted on four short legs, is animated by subtle modeling work that makes the material vibrate with the light. The head slightly elongated, the calm and assured bearing, and the sculptural treatment of the masses give the whole an expression of serenity and inner strength. The polished reliefs, taut curves and the characteristic transparency of Baccarat crystal create a changing reading of the piece depending on the viewing angle, sometimes emphasizing the density of the form, sometimes its extraordinary visual lightness.
One particularly appreciates the way light concentrates and diffracts in the shoulders, chest, hindquarters and legs, revealing the thickness of the crystal and the refinement of the craftsmanship. The Baccarat-engraved signature, visible on one of the legs, confirms the authenticity of this creation and its belonging to the world of collectible objects of the prestigious manufacture.
As both a decorative object and a symbolic piece, this Buffalo perfectly embodies the spirit of the Baccarat series inspired by the Chinese zodiac: refined creations, immediately legible, where symbolic tradition meets the excellence of French crystal. An ideal piece for a connoisseur of the house, a collector of animal subjects, or as a gift of very high quality with meaningful symbolism.
Dimensions: Height 8 cm; Width 14.5 cm; Depth 8 cm.
Condition: Excellent condition, barely used, with very minimal signs of wear.
