Description from the seller

René Lalique Sparrow Brooch – Art Deco, 1929
Elegance, light and French heritage.

This sumptuous molded-satin crystal brooch, adorned with a delicate sparrow, is an emblematic creation by René Lalique, the master glassmaker and silversmith of Art Deco. Conceived around 1929, this model is referenced in the Marcilhac catalog, a reference work devoted to Lalique’s oeuvre.

At the center of a perfectly balanced circular dish stands a small bird, frozen in a peaceful stance. Each feather, every curve testifies to Lalique’s technical mastery and artistic sensitivity, who knew how to transform crystal into visual poetry.

With its clean, geometric style faithful to Art Deco codes, this brooch is not a mere utilitarian object: it is a miniature work of art, an invitation to discreet luxury and contemplation.
