Art Nouveau Pâte de Verre Sculpture paperweight "Lizard" by Amalric Walter Nancy

About the Item

This exceptional sculpture, signed "A. Walter Nancy" exemplifies the essence of Art Nouveau at its finest. Crafted in pâte de verre—a technique that blends powdered glass and pigments to achieve translucent and textured effects—the piece features a meticulously detailed lizard. The reptile rests on a base adorned with naturalistic motifs, including vibrant flowers and leaves, evoking a vivid and organic landscape. Amalric Walter (1870–1959), born in Sèvres, was one of the foremost masters of pâte de verre. After joining the renowned Daum factory in Nancy, he revolutionized this technique, refining it alongside Henri Bergé. Walter drew inspiration from nature and symbolism, creating unique works that blend functionality and art. This sculpture, which doubles as a paperweight, showcases Walter's signature use of rich colors and natural forms, embodying the quintessential Art Nouveau aesthetic.
