Incredible Baccarat Crystal Sculptures Bookends R. Rigot Encounter Man and Woman

Description

Robert Rigot Baccarat Crystal Encounter Man & Encounter Woman Bookend Sculptures – c 1980
Fine estate Baccarat lead crystal sculptures depict a man and a woman, a couple about to exchange a kiss.
Robert Rigot has taken a new look at the universal theme of love and designed two complementary sculptures for Baccarat.
Cut in two blocks of crystal by the artisans from Baccarat, the abstract profile of the characters takes shape and brings out the eyes, nose and lips on the verge of touching.
Used as bookends, the pair are separated, but still love one another from afar…
These are fantastic modern mood sculptures!
