Icon-Icon Opinion :

If the name René Lalique resonates particularly in the heritage of French luxury, it is because this exceptional glassmaker participated in the introduction of the Art Nouveau era. Whether we talk about culinary art, jewelry, brooches, sets of jewels, or lights- the Réné Lalique talent has been expressed in a lot of formats, glorifying each time more materials towards a sublime that become legendary!

René Lalique exercised his many talents in all glass domains. For René Lalique, who had just turned forty, the Paris 1900 universal exposition is the occasion of total recognition. His jewelry, goldsmiths, sculptures, and works of art are successful because through this art of sensation, his whole era recognized themselves in it. He then turns into glass, giving it an increasing place for its creations.
The first publication of this catalog was a huge revolution: more than 4,000 items were listed and photographed while the best amateur knew hardly 1,000 of them.
Here today the republication of this splendid catalog raisoné of René Lalique’s glasswork.
