Aluminum
was an ideal material for theater props because of its light weight. This
tiara, designed by René Lalique, was made for Comedie-Francaise actress
Julie Bartet for her role in Racine’s tragedy Berenice. It consists of
an aluminum frame, made from a series of lotus flowers and openwork
palmettes, inset with five ivory plaques carved with scenes from the life
of Berenice. |
