René Lalique (1860-1945)

The jewelry-maker was one of the great names of first Art Nouveau and then Art Deco, whose glass creations became increasingly prevalent after 1900.

This is one of the great jeweller and master glassmaker's rarest pieces, of which six versions exist. This one, a bronze relief, is emblematic of both its creator's art and its times. Soon, this Femme ailée or winged woman will be taking off in an eagerly awaited flight.

The French master glassmaker picked this handful of wild berries to grace a perfume bottle with a spectacular "tiara stopper", which he created for his private customers.

Success awaited his bottle designed for Coty in 1910 and creations from the 1920s.

After a brooch, an enameled gold necklace graced with citrines in a sunflower decoration attests to René Lalique’s talent.

Don't judge it by its small size. This antique-style head in bronze and glass enhanced with silver paint is the work of two great artists: Jean-Léon Gérôme and René Lalique.

René Lalique's love ring: a refined celebration of Art Nouveau modernism.

This exquisite turn-of-the-century pendant with its long chain illustrates René Lalique's inventiveness and his use of faraway influences for inspiration.

This exquisite brooch by René Lalique reflects a powerful movement that did away with all restraints on creativity, making the ephemeral dragonfly a rich and complex source of inspiration.
