Description

Lalique's designs portray an elegant simplicity. This piece is painstakingly hand-crafted in France. The graceful nature of clear crystal sets the stage to showcase the masterful craftsmanship and the intricate designs utilized by Lalique. For more than 100 years, Lalique's Manufacture located in Alsace, an area renowned for its glassmaking, has perpetuated a traditional know-how. The human hand, that of both artist and craftsman, marks every object of its print and its strength, which convey this "material" presence: our know-how. The Lalique style comes from an artistic gesture, outlining a drawing in total osmosis with crystal, a style that one easily recognises through the manual modelling of the shapes and patterns, as if sculptured, the richness of the figurative details, the different types of finishing which creates this characteristic contrast of clear and matt crystal. An identity built by softness, femininity, nature with strong Art nouveau and Art Deco inspirations. Lalique, the only crystal Brand which, through an artistic gesture and the fusion at 1 400 degrees of lead and sand, metamorphoses raw material into unique works of art.
