Lalique Bear Crystal Sculpture

DESCRIPTION

Sculpture of a bear, rendered by Lalique in clear crystal. Despite being powerful and fearless, some cultures see the bear as good-natured and protective.

A significant factor of Russian culture, the bear appears in many Russian literary works, folklore, sayings and popular culture. Although this powerful and fearless animal is commonly considered dangerous, Russians affectionately see the bear as playful, good-natured, strong and protective. In 2018, he is associated with Bull, these two animals symbolize together the stock markets. For its part, the bull represents the one who speculates, believes in the growth of the market and buys. On the contrary, the bear who embodies the one who believes in the decline of the market and seeks to sell his titles. It is the balance of the bull and the bear in perpetual confrontation which symbolizes the balance of the markets.

Lalique today is considered the jewel in the crown of the French glass and crystal industry since 1888 – a byword for excellence, a reputation earned through creating extraordinary pieces in crystal glass in its myriad variations. It is not for nothing that Lalique is also referred to as the ‘haute couture’ of crystal. Since 1922, every Lalique piece has been produced at their only factory, the Verrerie d'Alsace glassworks at Wingen-sur Moder, Alsace, in a French region with a strong historical glassmaking tradition.
