России посвящается *
(Dedicated to Russia)
A pioneer...
Over a year ago, prefiguring the return of the ‘Russian Ballet’ fashion, CARON devised the image of a sled being drawn through the pure white snow by a sumptuously ornamented fiery steed, accompanied by the merry tinkling of bells.

 

CARON called on the skills of a master engraver/sculptor** to create this magnificent work of art in antique patinated bronze.

 

The famous TABAC BLOND, the best-selling fountain perfume in every CARON boutique, has been chosen for a Limited Edition of 300 pieces for the end of 2005.

 

This dazzling duo, called L’ANNEE RUSSE, comes in a sumptuous box-cum-presentation case, inscribed with Cyrillic characters.  

 

** Sculpture and engraving by Pierre ROUGE-PULLON
