Silvered Bronze French Christian Maas Birkin Bag Sculpture & Art Limited Edition
By Christian Maas
Located in North Miami, FL
This amazing sculpture by the well known French artist and sculptor, Christian Maas is a silvered bronze life-size rendering of the infamous Hermes Kelly Birkin bag. It was a limited edition of 100. It was done in 1990. It is titled the "Sac Kelly". The weight is extremely heavy and weighs excess of approximately 50 lbs. It is complete with engraved Cadena and incised troupe l'oeil special details. This rare and ultra chic piece of art and sculpture is a magnificent edition to any lover of Hermès and or contemporary Pop art sculpture collector. It is signed on the bottom as shown in the photos as Francis and D'Estaing which is the nom de plume of Christian Maas. His pseudonym is D'Estaing.
