René Jules Lalique (1860-1945)

The French glass artist and entrepreneur René Jules Lalique was born in 1860 in the Champagne. He was trained in the art of drawing at the Collège Turgot and at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, where he also studied the techniques of the goldsmiths. He also trained with Aucoc Louis (1850-1932), a renowned luxury jeweler. He accomplished his characteristic drawing style, based on natural forms, during his two-year studies at the Sydenham College, London. After completing his training, Lalique worked as a jewelry designer for Cartier until 1884. He then founded the company Lalique & Varenne along with the jeweler Varenne. To this day, René Jules Lalique is regarded as one of the most famous jewelry and glass artists of the Art Deco. His creations are displayed in more than 40 museums worldwide, including the Musée Lalique, which opened in 2011 in Alsace. Still today, Lalique distributes iconic creations, which continue to set auction records worldwide. (bde)
