L’étoile à pleuré rose, gilded bronze vide-poche by Line Vautrin.
Rectangular in shape with subtly irregular edges, this rare gilded bronze vide-poche is engraved in relief with a poetic text. The hammered surface, with its warm shimmering patina, enhances the lettering, whose irregular typography is a hallmark of Line Vautrin’s artistic language.
It reads :
“The star wept rose at the heart of your ears
Infinity rolls white from your nape to your loins
The sea beaded red at your vermilion breasts
And man bleeds black at your sovereign flank.”
Inspired by a poem by Arthur Rimbaud, this piece perfectly exemplifies Line Vautrin’s way of blending poetry, humor, and surrealist imagery with metalwork, transforming an everyday object into a fragment of dream.
