DESCRIPTION

Inspired by Magritte’s painting La Promesse (1950), this limited edition lost wax sculpture captures the poetry of a dove.

Inspired by René Magritte’s painting La Promesse (1950), this sculpture captures the poetry of a dove flying across an azure sky, contrasting with the night and the stormy sea. Born from the collaboration between the René Magritte Succession and Lalique, this sculpture in blue, satin-finished and polished crystal is crafted using the ancestral lost-wax technique. Available in a limited edition of 20 pieces, this artwork extends the questioning of the "master of images", inviting contemplation and the awakening of doubt, where each reflection promises a world to be reinvented.

In the light of crystal, the Magritte Succession and Lalique merge matter and mystery, gesture and enigma, bringing the works of the Surrealist master to life. At the heart of this collection, Magritte reverses the gaze: the boundary between subject and environment disappears, the image becomes a trap, an invitation to interpretation. Visible and invisible, background and form merge in a poetic equation where meaning slips away.

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.

This piece is brand new, sourced directly from Lalique, and bears the Lalique signature at its base, guaranteeing authenticity. We are the only authorised boutique in Sydney, Australia, where you can visit and select your Lalique pieces in person.
