Mid-Century French Signed Lalique Frosted Crystal Bison Sculpture
By Marc Lalique
Located in Dallas, TX
Decorate a shelf or a desk with this fine bison sculpture. Created in France by Lalique circa 1970, the frosted crystal bird is signed on the base. The paperweight bovin sculpture is in excellent condition with rich colors. Etched signature Lalique France on the bottom for further authentication.
Marc Lalique (1900-1977) was born in Paris, the son of René Lalique and Alice Ledru and brother of Suzanne Lalique-Haviland. He was responsible for the move from glass to crystal in the early 1950s. After studying at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, Marc Lalique joined his father in the family business in 1922. He was a highly skilled technician, and made frequent visits to the Wingen-sur-Moder factory to oversee new production techniques. On the death of his father in 1945, Marc took the helm. His technical bent and know-how led him to renovate and modernise the Wingen-sur-Moder factory, and Lalique rapidly became one of the finest crystal manufacturers not only in France but worldwide. The contrast between sheer transparency and satin sheen became Lalique’s hallmark, at home and abroad. Marc Lalique’s most famous pieces include the Angel glass, inspired by the Smiling Angel in Reims Cathedral, a reference to the Lalique family’s origins in the Champagne region, and the famous L'Air du Temps Nina Ricci...

XL Antique Alabaster Chandelier / Pendant w. Bronze Ram Sculptures & Rose Shades
Located in Lisse, NL
Majestic antique pendant with a stunning, 20 inch alabaster shade and two sets of glass shades.
Thanks to its unique design, its impressive size and its truly excellent condition this six-light alabaster chandelier will light up both your days and evenings, both in summer and winter time. This antique light fixture could not be more original and it even comes with a set of three near-transparent glass roses shades AND a set of three amberish color glass roses shades (matching the alabaster). So you can always choose the type of glass rose shades that you think are best for the occasion, season etc. The superb condition, colorful, extra large and deep alabaster shade combined with the equally excellent glass roses are a match made in heaven. However, what takes this chandelier to the next level are the three large and gilt bronze ram sculptures at each of the three suspension points. May these meaningful symbols for determination, power and leadership inspire their new owner(s) to reach for the stars and beyond. The black veins combined with other color veins and patches in this natural mineral stone shade contrast even more beautiful when the light is switched on, because the already marvelous colorful alabaster then turns into an even warmer spectacle of colors. We could shoot a hundred photos, but you still would not be able to see the true beauty of this impressive chandelier. The unique patterns inside this hand carved shade are the work of mother nature herself and the light brings them out in their true glory. In real life our antiques always have that little bit extra and this stunning pendant is all but an exception to that rule. You can, again, take our word for it. The original and heavy gilt bronze chain and the stunning and large, gilt bronze canopy are like the icing on the cake of this incredibly rich chandelier. If you have also noticed the double rose pattern on each of the gilt bronze shackles then you must agree that whomever had this chandelier made clearly spared no expenses. And to give you an even better idea of the quality, the gilt bronze canopy alone weighs over 11 pounds lbs.
To find this majestic chandelier in such excellent condition made our day, week and month and we are proud to be able to offer it to our 1stdibs clientele first. For our photos of this six-light chandelier we used three 75 watt bulbs inside the shade and one 60 watt bulb in each of the rose shades. This chandelier, however, will easily take three times 100 watts inside the shade and also easily 80 watts in each of the glass rose...

Dimensions: Height: 2 in Width: 3 in Depth: 2.25 in.
About the Scarab in ancient Egypt: The scarab beetle held significant cultural, religious, and symbolic importance. The scarab beetle, also known as the dung beetle, played a central role in Egyptian mythology and daily life. Here are some key aspects of the scarab beetle beliefs in ancient Egypt:
1) Symbol of regeneration and rebirth: The scarab beetle was associated with the concept of regeneration and rebirth. This connection was primarily observed in the insect's behavior of rolling balls of dung in which it laid its eggs. Egyptians saw parallels between this process and the sun god Ra's daily journey across the sky, disappearing at night and re-emerging in the morning.
2) Representation of the sun god Ra: The scarab beetle became a symbol for the sun god Ra, who was one of the most important deities in the Egyptian pantheon. The rolling of the dung ball by the beetle was likened to Ra's journey across the sky, and amulets in the shape of scarabs were often worn as protective charms.
3) Protective amulets and jewelry: Scarab beetles were popular motifs in ancient Egyptian jewelry...
