Baccarat Cecil Lion Sculpture Limited Edition

DESCRIPTION

A celebration of wildlife, Cecil is Baccarat's first lion. A masterpiece of clear crystal designed by Allison Hawkes in a limited run of only 99 units.

A celebration of wildlife, Cecil is Baccarat's first lion. A masterpiece of crystal designed by Allison Hawkes and created by the uniquely skilled artisans of our Manufacture. Handcrafted, this sculpture required the expert hands of a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France and several crystal cutters to re-create the powerful majesty of the king of the savannah. The feline rests on a pedestal of Macassar ebony. A victim turned symbol of animal poaching, Cecil the lion was illegally hunted in Zimbabwe in 2015. His name is now synonymous with the protection of this highly endangered species. Baccarat pays tribute to him through this exceptional creation. Limited edition of 99 pieces. 

Baccarat has stood at the forefront of French crystal artistry since 1764, when it was founded by royal decree in the village of Baccarat, Lorraine. From its origins in the village of Baccarat, every piece has been meticulously handcrafted in France, embodying clarity, brilliance, and timeless artistry. Known for its signature red crystal — tinted with 24-karat gold — and iconic designs like the Harcourt glass, Baccarat continues to illuminate the world’s most refined interiors. Today, it stands as a symbol of enduring elegance and exceptional craftsmanship, where tradition meets innovation in every detail.
