2023 - Portugal - 477 - Lisbon - 101 of 125 - Museu Calouste Gulbenkian - 5 of 5 - ‘Serpents’ Corsage Ornament by René Lalique

            We are in the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum.  Took a zillion photos but will limit it to showing 4.  If you go to Lisbon, the museum  would be a recommended visit.

‘Serpents’ corsage ornament by René Lalique.

This corsage ornament is one of the paradigms of René Lalique’s jewellery production, not only for the mastery of its execution, as for the theme chosen.

Reptiles were a source of inspiration to which Lalique returned throughout his life not only for jewellery, but also for his glass, bronzes, etc.

The corsage ornament is made of nine serpents entwined to form a knot from which the bodies of the other eight fall in a cascade, the ninth rising in the centre, at the top of the jewel. 

The reptiles, in the attack position, have their mouths open from which strings of pearls were hung as was apparently the case with a similar corsage ornament (the whereabouts of which are unknown), which was highlighted at the 1900 Paris Exposition and reproduced in a publication of the period. 

This piece is probably the only one in existence. 

The collection of Lalique jewelry is unique in the world, and takes up an entire room.
