Éclipse
Centrepiece — valet tray
A solid oval of crystal, its curves drawn taut like a celestial body at the moment of eclipse. Deep within, fine fragments of crystal form a luminous mist, suspended in the mass: every angle reveals a new depth.
The top and base are sandblasted to a silky, matte touch; the flat, the hollow and the edge are polished to brilliance. From this interplay of shadow and transparency comes a sculpture as much as an object of use.

The signature
A monogram caught in the light
The Dayeur monogram is marked at the heart of the piece, beneath the crystal veils. It reveals itself only to those who come close: a discreet signature, in the manner of the great houses.

From drawing to material
The line before the light
Before the fire comes the drawing. Every line of Éclipse was set with precision: the curve of the flat, the depth of the hollow, the fine edge that catches the light.

The material
Crystal, a material of light
Born of the finest sand, lead oxide and potash fused at over 1,400 °C, crystal sets itself apart from glass through its clarity and brilliance. It captures light and scatters it into reflections and iridescence.
Its density gives it a reassuring weight in the hand; its pure, lingering ring is the mark of its authenticity. Shaped by master glassmakers, it carries centuries of savoir-faire.
Crystal is not merely owned: it is handed down.
