Art Nouveau Carved Horn and Plique-à-jour Enamel "Grenouilles" or Frogs Ring

Creator: René Lalique – Lalique Co.
Offered by: Macklowe Gallery, Ltd

Description
Created circa 1900-1905, this "Grenouilles" or "Frogs" ring is composed of carved horn, plique-à-jour enamel and 18K gold. The broad ring's bombé form top is carved and pierced to represent four symmetrical frogs meeting at their heads over a green enamel base, completed by plique-à-jour enamel shoulders and chased shank of stylized locust leaves. A rare use by Lalique of carved horn and plique-à-jour enamel in a ring, this subtle harmony of gold and green celebrates the abundance and natural symmetry of summer flora and fauna.
