Erté now offers us the thrill of celebrating major
occasions (and quiet, love-inspired candlelight dinners) with his special
"Flute Majestique" - named for the
oversized champagne flutes used by Imperial Czarist Russia at the time of Erté's birth in 1892.The stem is exquisitely crafted and
highlighted by hand. It portrays seven faces of woman, which symbolizes
woman's many roles in today's society - friend, lover, confidant,
professional, mother and wife. Woman has never had more options, and Erté acknowledges her complexity with this homage. The
crystal bulb is clear to permit full enjoyment of the rising bubbles and
delicate color of a fine champagne. This design once
again confirms Erté's reputation as the 20th
century's most famous artist-designer. |
