Lalique France Crystal "Tête de Coq" Rooster Head Sculpture / Paperweight — Signed, 7"

A signed Lalique crystal "Tête de Coq" rooster head, produced from the celebrated René Lalique mascot design of 1928 and reissued by the house in crystal after the war as a sculpture and paperweight. The cockerel is modeled with the comb raised and the neck feathers deeply detailed, combining satin-frosted surfaces with polished clear crystal so the piece reads differently from every angle.

Weighty and beautifully finished, it works as a desk paperweight, bookshelf object, or a small sculptural accent — and carries the design pedigree of one of the most famous Art Deco automobile mascots ever made. The rooster is the emblem of France, and Lalique's rendering of it remains among the house's most enduring animal subjects.
