Amazing Rene Lalique presentation plate - Mouettes - Commissioned by The City of Paris to be given to King George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother) in 1938 on the occasion of their first and only state visit to Paris. The only examples of this plate still reside in Clarence House -The last home of the Queen Mother -and a tiny number of display examples that were sent to the Rene Lalique shops (to show off and commemorate the presentation) -None were ever available for sale -this example came from The Breves Gallery in London -It was originally part of a window display in 1938 and was acquired from the grandson of an employee (who was given it - as they were not allowed to sell it). In addition there is an original Rene Lalique press release photograph of the presentation showing The King and Queen with various unknown French and English dignitaries (The man bowing may be President Lebrun of France) -The super rare original photograph is stamped on the reverse 'Reproduction Interdite' (Reproduction forbidden) -The plate is listed in the Lalique book by Marcilhac Page 698 (black edition) -under 'pieces unclassified' A. Signed R Lalique see 2nd picture. This is almost certainly the rarest Rene Lalique plate...

Géode Square Plate by Matthieu Gicquel
Located in Geneve, CH
Géode Square Plate by Matthieu Gicquel Dimensions: D 29 x W 29 x H 3 cm. Materials: Optical glass and gold leaf. Weight: 6 kg. Each piece is numbered. Please contact us. Praise for the moment Light shines through the glass. Details are revealed one by one: here a light bubble rises, there a changing reflection. To seek to understand Matthieu Gicquel’s glass art - because what we’re really talking about here is touching the senses of the material, of the work - is first and foremost to follow the path mapped out by Junichiro Tanizaki in In Praise of Shadows. For him, «[...] we forget what is invisible to us, we regard as non-existent what cannot be seen»; yet the creator’s entire will lies in this need to reveal to us what seems absent, to give substance to the mystery from a material so common that we no longer pay attention to it. Two words-concepts of Japanese origin-form the original basis of Matthieu Gicquel’s artistic philosophy: wabi-sabi and Yûgen. The first is the powerful idea that beauty is to be found in the banal, the everyday, the vile. To the European eye, at first glance, it seems hard to grasp: what beauty is there in a chipped bowl...
