AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Manufacture: Lalique France
Subject: Two stylized swans (originally conceived by René Lalique as a paperweight in 1931)
Material: Crystal with a frosted finish and a circular base in polished clear crystal
Signature: Engraved on the edge of the base with the maison’s trademark
Two stylized swans rest side by side in frosted crystal; their curved necks form a harmonious composition above a compact circular base. One of the birds keeps its head erect, in a vigilant position, while the other lowers its neck toward the ground, leaning on its companion. The body features a finely feathery texture along the wings and tail, enhanced by Lalique’s characteristic frosted satin finish. This sculpture is made of French lead crystal, which combines delicate opaque surfaces with highly polished clear glass reflections. Light gently filters through the frosted bodies, while the polished beaks, the tips of the tails, and the transparent cylindrical base catch incoming light. This play of translucent and reflective surfaces adds depth to the plumage and defines the contours of each bird. Designed as a decorative paperweight. Dating from the late 20th century, the transparent neck at the base bears the italic inscription “Lalique France”.
Condition: excellent vintage condition with no evident defects that would affect use (perhaps a slight defect at the tip of the outermost plumage, but it is not discernible to the touch or sight) – please study the photos, which are an integral part of the description – please examine all photos carefully, as they constitute an important part of the description.
Tracked shipping will be entrusted to a courier.
Seller's Story
FilomenaVintage was born on November 6, 2012, thanks to an idea by Alessandra Testa, with the desire to give a new home to the beauties and wonders of a time that have never set, in the world of costume jewelry, fashion and beyond. The word vintage means "loved in the past" and so the rediscovery of pieces with a history, a past not too distant can return and be loved again, giving new value to the concept, that of a present to be lived again.
