Hirondelles Lamp, Clear Crystal, Chrome Finish

Celebrating the 130th anniversary of the Maison, the new collection takes us to the heart of the immeasurable heritage built by its founder. Through his work, René Lalique explored the decorative possibilities of flora, fauna and the female form. Among fauna, the swallow particularly inspired him, which he then made the centrepiece of many jewels and decorative objects. With admiration and respect for this immense artist, Lalique reinterprets the figure of the swallow, recurring in the Master’s work, herald of spring, symbol of happiness and freedom Reminiscent of René Lalique's famous tiara perfume bottles, the majestic tiara adorned with swallows is placed on the body of the lamp displaying a motif inspired by the Plumes bottle.
