Presentation a Tirage Limite - Faune Flacon (1942)

Lancôme’s Présentation à Tirage Limité, designed by Georges Delhomme in 1942, is a rare and exquisite perfume ensemble crafted for fragrances such as Peut-Être, Bocages, and Flèches. The flacon, often referred to as the "Faune Flacon," features a distinctive square, cushion-like body with softly rounded edges and a beautifully faceted form reminiscent of a cocoon. It is embellished with a gold-toned paper label, elegantly titled, and sealed with a unique two-pronged pressed glass stopper with a frosted collar—its shape evocative of gazelle horns or other animal antlers, inspiring the name Faune. This luxurious bottle is presented in its original limited-edition Japonaise box, covered in polychrome paper that imitates Japanese cloisonné and adorned with vivid images of wild ducks in flight against a cloudy blue sky. The interior is lined with sumptuous gold and yellow silk satin, enhancing the presentation’s elegance. This ensemble perfectly exemplifies Delhomme’s masterful fusion of artistry and refinement, transforming the perfume bottle into a collectible work of art that celebrates both nature and timeless sophistication
