Baguier Perdrix

Cristal Moulé-Pressé d'Exception

Lalique France, vers 1950

État Impeccable – Provenance Française

Discover the quiet elegance of a crystal guardian bird: the Baguier Perdrix, a jewel carved in clear and satin crystal, where a partridge with graceful lines and subtly deployed wings forms a transparent and irresistible bowl for fine jewelry, keys, or daily tiny treasures. Its delicate plumage motifs, carved with virtuoso precision, capture light in air shimmering play, evoking the reflections of a pond at sunrise.

Hand-molded and pressed in the Alsatian workshops, this functional trinket transcends the ordinary: it is not merely a receptacle, but a talisman of refinement, ideal for gracing a dressing table, a desk, or a curiosity cabinet, where every detail becomes an invitation to poetic contemplation. Founded in 1888 by René Lalique, the jeweller-poet of the Belle Époque, the Maison forged from its origins an unbreakable bond with the animal kingdom, inspired by Japanese bestiaries and the forests of Lorraine. From dragonflies with diaphanous wings adorning its Art Nouveau jewelry (such as the famous Libellule necklace of 1897), to the glittering peacocks of the Normandie liner fountains in 1935, passing by the mythical birds of perfume bottles – swans, pheasants, swallows – that populate post-war collections, Lalique elevates fauna to eternal muse. Each creature, carved in translucent crystal, symbolizes freedom and harmony, merging wild instinct with French elegance.

This Baguier Perdrix, emblem of this tradition, embodies the post-1945 era: a time when utilitarian objects are dressed in poetic animal forms, produced in series yet accessible to connoisseurs, for a lifestyle that is accessible and timeless. Signed Lalique France in the hollow of its base, it perpetuates this secular heritage, where crystal is no longer matter, but life breath.
