Cecil the Lion by Baccarat - Dedicated by Allison Hawkes
Alchemist of joy and creator of enchanting worlds, Baccarat has never ceased to astonish the world with its masterpieces. Be one of the very few to adopt Cecil, a majestic sculpture designed by Allison Hawkes, handcrafted by the uniquely skilled artisans of the Baccarat Manufacture in France from a single block of crystal. To meet this unique challenge, each piece requires the creation of its own mould.
A victim turned symbol against animal poaching, Cecil the Lion was illegally hunted in Zimbabwe in 2015. His name is now synonymous with the protection of this highly endangered species. Baccarat pays tribute to him through this exceptional creation, a true celebration of wildlife.
Part of a limited series of 99, this lot is creation number 1, and comes with an original drawing and dedication by Allison Hawkes.
