How do you spoil a princess? What do you give the girl who has everything? If only the best is good enough for the lady in your life, or if you’re ‘doing the wooing’ in pursuit of her affection, then do take note.
Lalique is one of the most exclusive brands in the world of glass and crystalware, jewellery design and objets d’art. It is probably best known for its fabulous range of glassware including perfume bottles, vases, bowls and ornaments, particularly in the style of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
Founded in 1888, Rene Jules Lalique was one of the most celebrated French glassmakers whose label has endured to remain the epitome of French luxury and style. Today, in addition to the Musee Lalique in French Alsace, important collections are also on display in many museums across the world, including the Lalique Museum in Hakone, Japan, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris and the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, Portugal.
Each Lalique item is a little work of art, and testament to the incredible skill and craftsmanship that only an art lover would truly appreciate. Sold through an exclusive network of authorised retailers, Lalique pieces are highly collectable for today’s enjoyment and tomorrow’s investment.
