René Lalique “Automne” Gold and Basse-Taille Enamel Pendant

This French Art Nouveau masterpiece, the "Automne" pendant, is one of the allegorical jewels that René Lalique created to celebrate the beauties of the natural world. The season of Autumn is personified in basse-taille enamel and gold among the leaves of the European plane tree. A pale female face with dark, luxuriant hair is depicted among a cascade of beautifully-modeled leaves and seed balls that over-spill the arabesques of delicate branches. Pair this pendant with your favorite delicate chain, worn as a true piece of art.
