  Important Lucien Gaillard “Staghorn beetle” silver and gold inlay magnifying glass, signed c. 1900

  Silver hand finished and repoussed in the form of a staghorn beetle with horns encircling the round magnifying glass, gold details

  Signed: L. GAILLARD (engraved) on lower right leg, head of Minerva (950/1000 pure silver)

  The staghorn beetle was a favorite form for Gaillard and the inspiration for many examples of his work including jewelry, vases and this magnifying glass. A variant model in cast bronze can be seen in the collection of the Musee d’Orsay in Paris.
