Description

  • Claude Lalanne
  • Unique Poisson-Sac
  • 6,8 x 14,4 x 5,3 cm ; 2 5/8 x 5 5/8 x 2 in.
1974 galvanised copper ; articulated, containing a mirrored glass and a comb in walrus ivory Monogrammed C.L., stamped LALANNE and dated 74 on the tail

Condition

Good overall condition. The galvanised copper presents with a few rare cracks inherent to the making. There are some rare and tiny vert-de-gris stains, not visually distracting. The mirrored glass appears to have been added by the artist herself at a later date. One tooth of the comb has been broken and repaired and there are a few tiny glue remnants on the comb.
