CLAUDE LALANNE | "Petit Lilas" Necklace

number 35 from an edition of 200

Private Collection, Paris 
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall excellent condition. The two branches that constitute the necklace hook together at the central flower. Two minor oxidation spots visible of the petals, not visually distracting and consistent with natural evolution of the material. When examined in person, the color of the petals appear closer to gold than pictured on the photograph. Variations in texture and shape are inherent to production. The necklace is offered in its original protective case.
