His work marks the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods with its iconic design. R. Lalique began as an apprentice in 1876 with the jeweler Aucoc. After studying at the School of Decorative Arts in Paris, living in England for two years, he became a supplier to the greatest jewelers like Jack, Boucheron, Cartier, Garrod and more. In 1885, he launched his jewelry career. However, glass was attracting his attention for years.  He met perfumer Francois Coty and started creating perfume bottles for specific perfumes and designed the container to have a symbolic link with the content. R. Lalique distinguished himself in an eclectic fashion. He contributed to the Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts of 1925 with the fountain Les sources de France which showed his acumen for architectural matters. And in the 20s, he made radiator caps for cars. A gifted artist and brilliant industrialist, R. Lalique knew how to develop his business in his day. He passed on May 1, 1945 and left behind a world of art masterpieces that are still world-renowned. Free Nationwide Shipping!
