LES COLLECTIONS HISTORIQUES
VASE CHUTE DE GLYCINES
The Historic Collections celebrate the audacity
of the Maison’s archives through a contemporary
reinterpretation of the Chute de Glycines vase,
originally created in 1917 and inspired by the
art of dinanderie.
Entirely handcrafted in the Haute Orfèvrerie
workshops in Normandy, this spectacular and
generously sized vase combines a matte brushed
finish on its body with a mirror-polished motif
that shines with radiant reflections. A duality of
textures that enhances the Art Nouveau pattern.
A unique silverwork that employs the techniques
of spinning, chasing, and polishing
