AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Crystal Baccarat Buffalo, a symbol of the Chinese zodiac, with a presence that is both understated and majestic. This mid-sized sculpture, but striking in visual impact, elegantly illustrates the quiet strength, stability, and perseverance traditionally associated with the Buffalo in the Chinese horoscope. Made from colorless crystal, it captivates with the purity of its material, the clarity of its volumes, and the exceptional quality of its light.
The silhouette, deliberately pared-down and stylized, reproduces with remarkable economy of lines all the power contained in the animal. The compact body, firmly set on four short legs, is animated by subtle modeling work that makes the material vibrate with the light. The slightly elongated head, the calm and assured bearing, and the sculptural treatment of the masses give the piece an expression of serenity and inner strength. The polished reliefs, taut curves, and the characteristic transparency effects of Baccarat crystal create a changing reading of the piece according to the angle of observation, sometimes accentuating the density of the form, sometimes its extraordinary visual lightness.
We particularly appreciate how light concentrates and diffracts in the shoulders, chest, hindquarters, and legs, revealing the thickness of the crystal and the refinement of the execution. 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 from the prestigious manufacturer.
At once 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 work for a lover of the Maison, a collector of animal subjects, or for a very high-quality gift rich in meaning.
Dimensions: Height 8 cm; Width 14.5 cm; Depth 8 cm.
Condition: Excellent, barely used, with very minor signs of wear.
