Aguttes will auction a René Lalique Art Nouveau brooch on October 29, originally designed as the central element of a dog collar necklace. The piece, now mounted as a brooch, features plique-à-jour enamel in a green camaïeu, diamonds, and gold, with a hawthorn branch motif that exemplifies Lalique's innovative use of materials and nature-inspired design.
