Faucon

Hawk in Silver plate and Gilding - Haute Orfèvrerie

Bird of prey with an extremely piercing view, the hawk has always been used for falconry (hunting on the wing), sport that requires a long and fastidious training.
Christofle chose to portray the animal at rest on its perch. A special attention was given to the bird’s feathers, making them incredibly realistic. No less than seventeen elements where carved and assembled to breathe life into this predator. Keeping faithful to the hunting traditions, Christofle has also created the bird’s hood.
