Notes
The strong relief moulding and opalescence seen in this example are characteristic of Lalique's early 1930s production.
The title likely references Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, and the design of birds perched on leafy branches reflects his recurring interest in nature.
This model appeared in the 1932 catalogue and was discontinued after 1947.
