La Liseuse

This piece, designed and produced by Jean-Vincent Huguenin, shows a 19th century genre scene of a woman asleep in a garden with a bird resting on her wrist. It required more than 350 hours to make and involved two almost forgotten methods: nacre engraving and the repoussé technique. Both very appreciated in previous centuries, these techniques are now practised by only a few craftsmen.
