Lalique Gorilla Sculpture Lost Wax Limited Edition

DESCRIPTION

A gorilla takes shape, springing forth from the block of black crystal itself. In a limited edition of 38 pieces by Lalique using the lost wax technique.

In a block of rock, a gorilla takes shape, as if it were springing forth from the mountain itself. This sculpture, both majestic and imposing, embodies the raw power of a strong-willed animal, with a surprising elegance. Its details, meticulously crafted, reveal the high precision of craftsmanship that captures every muscle, every curve with striking fidelity.

The rock seems to bend under the gorilla’s will, like a symbol of the energy carried by the Earth. Yet, within this stone giant, there also resides an unexpected softness, a perfect duality: the strength embodied by this animal, tempered by the tenderness in its gaze. This mountain gorilla, proud and imperial, is sculpted in intense black crystal, in a limited edition of 38 pieces.

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.
