Lalique at the Musee du Luxembourg


Over 400 works by jeweler Rene Lalique are on display right now at the Musee du Luxembourg, showcasing a wide range of art nouveau pieces made between 1890-1912 by this master. Using tradional materials such as gold, diamonds, etc., alongside ivory, opal, and glass, Lalique worked with themes of nature and the female form. A true master of his craft, the house of Lalique is still strong today, using crystal as its main material.
