RENÉ LALIQUE
René Lalique France 1912- - Art Nouveau an Extremely Rare Box D' Orsay 1912
As you gaze upon this magnificent creation, let yourself be enveloped in a sense of wonder and admiration. Every delicate detail and graceful curve speaks volumes about Lalique's unparalleled skill and unwavering dedication to his craft. It's a tribute to the enduring beauty and power of artistic expression, inviting you to revel in the splendor of artistry and the joy of creation.
Embark on a journey of love for art and gratitude for the expression of beauty captured in the dancing movements of this exquisite piece.
This piece is very similar in comparison to the painting made by Henri Matisse early in 1909 - 1910 called Dance (La Danse). Please take a look at the last picture. Top is the Masterpiece by Rene Lalique and the bottom is the Masterpiece by Henri Matisse. The two pieces share the same movement and composition and are very similar in style.
My personal opinion since these were done in the same time period and same place, they are revealing Frances good spirit and the passion to explore creation.

We invite you to scroll down to experience the story of Lalique...
Rene Lalique's life and artistic career bestrode arguably the three most important movements in the field of the Decorative Arts - Belle Epoque, Art Nouveau and Art Deco. His contemporaries, Emile Galle and the American, Louis Comfort Tiffany, worked predominantly in Art Glass, distinctive for its rich interplay of color, botanic motifs and iridescence. These facets, although of great beauty, tended somewhat to disguise the medium of glass itself. Rene Lalique, however, stood out from his contemporaries by being the 'purist', who applied his talent to the inherent merits of glass, and thereby elevated it to new heights of technical and artistic interpretation.
Lalique was born on 6th April 1860, in the small French town of Ay in the Marne region. While still an adolescent, he won several awards for his illustrations, and by 1890 had achieved an enviable degree of success as a silversmith, goldsmith, enameler, sculptor, designer and of course as a jeweler. It was in this latter field that he first gained worldwide renown, however, glass held the greatest fascination for Lalique and the advent of the 1920's witnessed the period of his greatest commercial success.
Many truly astonishing items of glassware were produced, including a range of glass car mascots, mainly of female nude or animalier form. Lalique had shrewdly recognised the vogue for "automobiles de luxe" and offered its devotees his sensual mascots as the ultimate automotive adornment. Some of these mascots are today extremely rare and are amongst the most valuable of Lalique's work from this period. During these years the world's most discerning connoisseurs sought out Lalique to add his indefinable genius to their interiors, and his patrons included Indian maharajahs, American industrialists and European nobility, as well as almost all of the surviving crowned heads of Europe's Royal Houses.
Of all the eulogies and posthumous praise heaped on Lalique after his death, one is most worthy of recounting here. One of Lalique's greatest friends and lifelong patrons, the Armenian oil mogul Calouste Gulbenkian wrote "He ranks among the greatest figures in the history of art of all time. .." From Gulbenkian, whose art collection included works by Rubens, Rembrandt, Rodin and Gainsborough as well as some of the finest works by Lalique - this was praise indeed.
