Note du spécialiste

LALIQUE
At the turn of the 20th century, René Lalique broke with tradition, creating jewels as art instead of ornament. True to the spirit of revolution, he chose unconventional materials such as glass and semi-precious gems. Lot 197 is an extraordinary example of René Lalique’s creativity.
