Description

Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated

The first edition of this work in the publisher's original pictorial card wraps.

Illustrated with 353 photographic illustrations in colour. Collated, complete.

René Jules Lalique (1860-1945)[1][2] was a major French jeweller, glassmaker and interior designer, well-known for his elegant perfume bottles, jewellery, chandeliers, vases and glass art.

In this work, Mark Waller and art historian Patricia Bayer examine his oeuvre and trace his development from apprentice goldsmith to Art Nouveau jeweller Louis Aucoc; to freelance artist creating pieces for Cartier and the Maison de l'Art Nouveau; to notable Art Deco glass artist. A fascinating and beautifully illustrated work.
