Description :
A vintage silver-plated animalier figurine titled "La Mésange" (The Titmouse / Great Tit) from the celebrated "Lumière d'Argent" (Silver Light) collection by the premier French silversmith house, Christofle. This finely crafted piece depicts a small bird perched dynamically on a realistic silver-plated branch with its wings spread wide in mid-flight or landing. The sculpture features the collection's signature, intricate openwork filigree detailing across the torso and wings, allowing light to pass beautifully through the form. The bird is set with two highly polished onyx stone eyes and is mounted securely to its original black marble cubic base. Produced primarily between 1987 and 1994 at Christofle's historic St. Denis factory in France, this charming collection remains highly sought after by international collectors of fine silver and animalier decorative arts.
