What symbolizes Lalique?
1 Answer

The work of Lalique’s founder, jewelry designer, glassmaker and decorative artist René Lalique, employed now-classic Art Nouveau themes and motifs: flowing, organic lines; forms based on animals, insects and flowers, all rendered in luxurious materials such as ivory, enamel, gold and semi-precious stones. By 1905, Lalique had begun creating works in glass, and his style began to shift to a cleaner, sharper, smoother, more modern approach suited to his new medium. By the end of the First World War, the artist had fully embraced Art Deco modernity. Shop a collection of Lalique pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
