| Lalique![]() LALIQUE THE INVENTOR OF MODERN JEWELLERY When René LALIQUE began his career as jeweller, originality and inspiration in jewellery were overlooked in favour of the magnificence and profusion of precious stones. His revolutionary creations made him the master of Art Nouveau jewellery.
Drawing his inspiration from nature
and influenced by Japanese artists, he created pieces of jewellery,
that were
in themselves
miniature sculptures. Audaciously for the period, he used the female
form as a
means of ornamentation, following the example of the Renaissance artists. Very often he depicted woman as an allegory: half woman, half animal, often mysterious and troubled but nonetheless endowed with a disturbing sensuality. CALL 0114 275 3076 FOR MORE INFORMATION OR FOR OTHER LALIQUE PIECES
