Dancing Elephant, Rembrandt Bugatti by Lalique, 2014

Throughout his life, Rembrandt Bugatti strove to immortalize wildlife, rendered through his astonishing talent in images as natural and original as possible.

Lalique’s intention in creating this edition is to cast his exceptional oeuvre in a new light, using crystal glass as a medium and the lost-wax technique to preserve and render intact the creative work of Rembrandt Bugatti.

Elephants are among the first exotic animals that Rembrandt Bugatti modelled. The Dancing Elephant was originally designed as a signet for his brother, Ettore, before being rededicated as a radiator ornament for the latter’s most ambitious automobile, the Royale.
