Note
This elegant brooch epitomizes the poetic universe of Claude Lalanne.
Mixing human, animal and vegetal elements is one the originalities of the Lalanne creative duo during their decades of collaboration.
Claude & François Lalanne produced a very wide range of furniture, sculptures and also jewellery pieces that are now pursued by passionate collectors all over the world.
Our brooch was edited by Arthus-Bertrand, one of the oldest goldsmith companies in Paris founded in 1803.
