About the Item

A striking amber crystal totem sculpture by Saint-Louis, executed in a bold geometric Art Deco Revival manner characteristic of the French maison’s late 20th century decorative production. The piece combines satin-frosted and highly polished crystal surfaces, creating a sophisticated interplay of translucency, depth, and light. The vertically structured composition is formed from stacked architectural volumes with stylized scroll and fan motifs, culminating in a sculptural cubist-style finial. The warm amber coloration intensifies toward the base, producing a luminous effect typical of high-quality French crystal. The alternating frosted and transparent treatments emphasize the sculptural rhythm of the form and give the object an almost monumental presence despite its relatively compact dimensions. The underside retains the original Saint-Louis acid-etched circular signature. The piece presents exceptionally well overall. It is important to note that the sculpture has a slight natural lean and does not stand at a perfectly straight 90-degree angle, giving it a subtle “leaning tower” appearance visible in the photographs. Additionally, there is a very small chip to the underside rim, invisible during normal display. Dimensions: Height: 24 cm / 9.4 in Diameter: 4.5 cm / 1.8 in Condition: Very good vintage condition overall with no major damage observed. Minor chip to the underside base rim visible only upon close inspection from below. The sculpture also displays a slight manufacturing or structural lean when standing. No cracks or repairs observed. The photographs form an integral part of the description.
