Happy #LunarNewYear #YearOfTheSnake 🌕🐍

René Lalique (France, 1860-1945)

Serpents' Corsage ornament, Paris, c.1898-9

Chased & enamelled gold, H 21.0 x W 14.3 cm

F undação Calouste Gulbenkian 1216

“This piece can be considered one of the paradigms of Lalique’s jewellery production, both for the mastery of its execution and the choice of theme. Reptiles were, indeed, a frequent source of inspiration for the artist throughout his career, a motif to which he constantly returned, both in the jewellery of the Art Nouveau period and in the glass production of the Art Deco period.

The nine intertwined serpents that make up the corsage ornament, in stained glass enamel and enamelled gold, form a knot from which the bodies of eight of them cascade down, with the ninth rising up in the centre at the top of the jewel. The heads of the reptiles, in attack position, have open mouths from which rows of pearls may have hung. A piece of jewellery whose whereabouts today are unknown and of which this is probably the only replica, featured prominently at the 1900 Paris Exposition.”

René Lalique was born #OTD (6 April 1860 - 1 May 1945). Since it's also still #BatAppreciationWeek, here are a few of Lalique's many bats!

1. bat anklet c.1898-9; gold, enamel, antique & rose diamond, opal 2. bat ring c.1899; silver, enamel, moonstone, gold both Musée des Arts décoratifs

Both these pieces were commissioned as gifts for American writer Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972), who was openly lesbian; bats were a Fin de siècle symbol of homosexuality. But they were also popular Art Nouveau motifs thanks to Japonisme. Here is another example:

3. Ring c.1901, gold, blue enamel, sapphire

And another, this one paired with another popular Art Nouveau animal:

4. "Butterflies and Bats" pocketwatch, c. 1899-1900; gold, enamel, moonstone.Via Christie's (sold in 2002 for US$207,500)
