About

Decorate a shelf or a desk with these fine bison bookends created by Lalique, France circa 1980. Expertly sculpted with remarkable detail, each muscular animal is rendered in satin-finished crystal with beautifully textured fur and powerful form, poised atop a clear rectangular base. The contrast between the matte surface of the bison and the high-polish base highlights Lalique’s mastery of light and texture. Each piece bears the etched signature Lalique France on the side. These signed crystal animals reflect the legacy of Marc Lalique (1900–1977), son of renowned glass artist René Lalique. Following his father’s death in 1945, Marc transformed the Lalique company from art glass to full crystal production, introducing a new era of weight, clarity, and brilliance to its sculptural pieces. Under his leadership, Lalique became internationally synonymous with refined French luxury. In excellent condition, this elegant duo would make a bold and sophisticated statement on a desk, shelf, or mantel. A beautiful addition to any collection of French crystal or decorative sculpture. 5″W x 4″D
