Rene Lalique (1860–1945) was a French glass designer and jeweller who is considered one of the most important figures in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. Lalique's designs were characterised by their innovative use of materials, including glass, enamel and precious stones, and their intricate and highly detailed motifs, often inspired by nature. Lalique's work was highly sought after by wealthy clients, including members of European royalty, and he created a wide range of objects, from perfume bottles and vases to jewellery and decorative objects. Today, Lalique's work is highly prized by collectors and his designs continue to be produced by the company he founded.
