Baccarat High-value Animal Figurine
The Baccarat Marengo Horse Sculpture draws inspiration from Napoleon’s horse, translating this reference into a clear crystal composition with defined posture and balanced proportions. This luxury animal figurine originates from a single block of lead crystal, shaped to reflect the physical power of the Arabian horse that carried the Emperor through the Battle of Marengo. Allison Hawkes utilized a vertical composition to emphasize the muscular tension of the rearing animal, ensuring the 5.70 kg weight remains balanced through the hind legs. The polished clear surfaces are cut to allow light to penetrate the density of the crystal, creating a visual depth that defines the mane and the anatomical precision of the horse’s silhouette.
As a piece inspired by French history and the victories at Austerlitz and Wagram, the sculpture appeals to those who invest in heritage-brand decorative arts. This acquisition includes the original packaging and a certificate of authenticity, providing a secure path for adding high-value animal figurines to a growing collection.
