Description
Created around 1898-99 by René Lalique, this pendant necklace of "deux figurines dansant" is composed of peridot, champlevé enamel and 18K gold. The pendant is designed as a rectangular chased gold plaque depicting two figures in relief, against a background of pale green enamel, with hands interlaced as they dance in a circle, one partly veiled in en plein enamel, in a wooded glade, the reverse counter-enameled, within a frame of green thistle of Lorraine blossoms, seed heads, thorny leaves, and sinuous stems in shades of green enamel, highlighted by two step-cut peridots, suspended from a later trace link chain. Celebrated in Roger Marx's 1899 review hailing Lalique as a "master French decorative artist", the dancer relief of this jewel personifies the spirit of nature, not only in the abstract, but in the artist's most beloved place, the woodlands and meadows of Eastern France.
