Antique French Lalique Art Glass Crystal - Vases Perfumes Jewelry Etc. / Book

Description: LALIQUE PAR LALIQUE by Marc and Marie-Claude Lalique, The Lalique Society, Paris, 1977. Here is a bi-lingual text, presented in English and French, supported by approximately 500 superb color photo plates. The lavish illustrations, identifying captions, concisely rich narrative, and section on Marks combine to make this early out-of-print book one of the leading references on Lalique art glass and jewelry. The direct descendents of Rene Lalique have gathered these materials in jewelry creation and glass making from family documents and shown them with informative captions, close-up views and superb photography. Sections also treat the work of Marc and Marie-Claude Lalique, son and granddaughter of Rene and successful artists in their own right. Background information on how certain pieces came to be created as well as general biographical data make this book a loving tribute to a great artist, a lesson on how a passion for creation is handed down through generations, a visual feast, and a triumph of art itself. About half of the book deals with Lalique designed jewelry and the balance of the book covers in-depth the various art glass types created by Lalique. This rare comprehensive book is a collector’s item in itself and would make a fine addition to the permanent reference library of any collector, dealer, or historian of Lalique objects of art. Oversize / heavy 9.5“ x 12“ hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 310 pages. FREE media mail shipping and handling for deliveries within the 50 United States.
