About the Item

Beautiful and large Dahlia model René Lalique bottle, France 1930s. Signed R. Lalique. In excellent condition. Dimensions in cm ( H x W x D ) : 17 x 14 x 6.5 Secure shipping. The Lalique Maison was created by René Lalique who was one of the greatest artists of his time, whether as a jeweler or master glassmaker. He marked the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods with his unique style. Lalique is recognized as one of the most important jewelry designers and glass maker of the French Art Nouveau period, creating innovative pieces for Samuel Bing's new store in Paris, Maison de l'Art Nouveau. He began exhibiting his work under his own name as early as 1894, notably at the Salon des artistes français, 1897 and 1898. The great glassmaker Émile Gallé discovered him at the first one and praised him highly. His stand at the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris was a great success. While keeping sources of inspiration from the Art Nouveau woman, fauna and flora - including the peacock, various insects and sometimes a fantastic bestiary - he innovated by using materials barely used for jewelry at the time: glass, enamel, leather, horn, mother of pearl, often preferring semi-precious stones to precious stones. The introduction of volume in jewelry is facilitated by his knowledge in modeling. He designed his models, having them made by a team of chisellers, sculptors and enamellers that he carefully recruited. Many women from the nobility, the bourgeoisie and the entertainment world began to wear his extraordinary jewelry, such as the Marquise Arconati-Visconti, the Countess of Béarn, Madame Waldeck-Rousseau, and Sarah Bernhardt, for whom he created a stage costume in 1902 for the revival of the play Théodora at the Sarah-Bernhardt Theater. Lalique was the only modern artist whose client and friend Calouste Gulbenkian became. Gulbenkian acquired the famous Pectoral à la libellule (circa 1897-1898), a masterpiece much admired at the 1900 World's Fair, which he lent to the tragedienne Sarah Bernhardt. After the end of the First World War, Lalique's colorful and fantastic jewelry were no longer in fashion. The creator sensed this and decided to convert to the Art Deco style through glassware in 1920. Thus, the neo-classical and geometric Art Deco replaces Art Nouveau. According to Olivier Mauny, former CEO of Lalique, his creations paved the way for an industrialization of art objects, because one of the best ways to include luxury and aesthetics in everyday life is to make everyday objects. He will create many objects such as vases, cups, candlesticks, perfume bottles, radiator caps for the Citroën 5CV (1925), decorations for the restaurant cars of the Côte d'Azur Pullman Express (1929), decorations for the dining room of the first class of the Normandie liner (1936), fountains for the Champs-Élysées. A century later, the name Lalique still makes people dream, evoking the brilliance of jewelry, the magic of light through transparency and crystal.

Iconic 1920's René Lalique "Ronces" (Brambles/Briar) Art Deco Perfume Bottle

Iconic 1920's René Lalique "Ronces" (Brambles/Briar) Art Deco Perfume Bottle

By René Lalique

Located in Red Lion, PA

An exceptional and highly collectible original 1920s René Lalique "Ronces" perfume bottle, one of the celebrated masterpieces of the French Art Deco period. Designed by the legendary French glassmaker and jewelry designer René Lalique, this exquisite bottle showcases the sculptural artistry and naturalistic motifs that made Lalique an international icon. The design features an elegant interpretation of intertwined brambles or briars ("ronces" in French), rendered with remarkable depth and precision in molded glass. The interplay of light across the relief decoration creates a jewel-like effect, transforming a functional perfume bottle into a work of decorative art. This example remains in excellent condition, retaining its original stopper and displaying crisp details throughout. The underside bears multiple authenticating marks, including both "R. Lalique" and "Lalique France" signatures, along with a production number. René Lalique stands among the most influential designers of the twentieth century, bridging the organic elegance of Art Nouveau and the bold geometry of Art Deco. Having achieved international fame as a jeweler to European aristocracy and cultural luminaries, Lalique revolutionized the world of decorative glass beginning in the early twentieth century. His collaborations with the leading French perfume houses transformed perfume presentation from simple packaging into an art form. By the 1920s, Lalique's perfume bottles had become symbols of luxury, innovation, and modern design, sought after by collectors and museums worldwide. Today, original signed R. Lalique perfume bottles are recognized as cornerstones of French decorative arts and remain among the most desirable objects from the golden age of Art Deco glass. The "Ronces" pattern is particularly admired for its sophisticated fusion of nature and modernism. While rooted in Lalique's lifelong fascination with botanical forms, the design's stylized briars embody the streamlined aesthetic that defined the Art Deco movement. The motif captures both elegance and strength, transforming a humble thorny plant into a refined decorative statement. Highly sought after by collectors of Lalique glass, French Art Deco perfume bottles, luxury vanity accessories, and twentieth-century design, this authentic signed example represents an increasingly scarce opportunity to acquire one of René Lalique's enduring creations. Equally compelling displayed within a curated collection, on a dressing table, or among fine French decorative arts, this museum-worthy piece exemplifies the craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless beauty that continue to define the Lalique legacy more than a century later.
