Nude Flora Sculpture (Ltd Edition 99 Pcs)

The radiance of satin-finished crystal highlights this Grand Nude Flora, Goddess of nature and spring in Roman mythology. Captivating with voluptuousness and grace, she watches over foliage, allowing nature to awake each year. The cherry blossoms on her back evoke the world-famous and wondrous blossoming of Japanese cherry trees. This (Ltd Edition 99 Pcs) demonstrates the extraordinary ability of Lalique glass masters to sculpt the light by fashioning crystal. Trained as a jeweler at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in the late 1880's, Rene Lalique gained recognition as an independent designer for some of the era's great jewelry houses including Cartier and Boucheron. Eventually, he turned to glassmaking, and his techniques were a triumph for the Art Deco movement. Every piece of Lalique is finely detailed and produced by hand in Alsace, France.
