LALANNE Claude

LALANNE Claude

Claude LALANNE (1925–2019)

“Entrelacs”  Pair of Ear Clips (Earrings)
Artcurial Edition, 1996

A rare and highly sculptural pair of ear clips from Claude Lalanne’s celebrated Entrelacs series, edited by Artcurial in 1996. Crafted in 750/1000 yellow gold (18K), this limited edition pair is numbered xx/50, with only fifty examples produced.

Each earring is conceived as a delicately modeled four-petal flower resting on a subtly curved branch. True to Lalanne’s poetic naturalism, the petals are individually textured, capturing the organic irregularities of living foliage. The surface reveals a refined interplay of matte and polished areas, enhancing the luminous warmth of the gold and emphasizing the sculptural depth of the composition. A small central bead anchors the petals, while the branching stem introduces movement and asymmetry, a hallmark of Lalanne’s botanical jewelry.

Signed “C. L. Lalanne”, numbered xx/50, and stamped Artcurial.

Beyond its collectible significance, this pair will be a precious addition of elegance and distinction for the person who wears it, combining rarity with sculptural presence.

Claude Lalanne (1925–2019) was one of France's most celebrated sculptors and designers. Working both independently and alongside François-Xavier Lalanne as Les Lalanne, she transformed botanical forms into elegant sculptures, furniture, and jewelry. Inspired by nature and executed with exceptional craftsmanship, her poetic creations have become icons of twentieth-century French decorative arts and are highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
