Book Description: 1990. Hard Cover with dust jacket. Book
Condition: VG/G 10.5 x 9.25 in. The tremendously
imaginative RenLalique and his family have created an unparalleled
elegance of style; their ingenuity has captivated us for a hundred
years and promises to captivate us for a hundred more. Now, for the
first time, Lalique Perfume Bottles brings together the complete
perfume bottle designs of RenLalique and Cristal Lalique from 1907 to
the present. All 288 designs are illustrated, including extremely rare
pieces unknown to even the best-informed dealers and collectors, and
some original designs, models, and mockups, many never produced or
publicly viewed. Each bottle is cataloged with commentary on the
signature and the relative rarity and value of the piece. From Coty in
1907 to Nina Ricci today, Lalique has always been the innovator in the
perfume bottle market, and the name "Lalique" has become synonymous
with elegant presentations, incredible artistic ability, and
illustrious design. Coty was the first parfumeur who wanted to package
his scent as an objet de luxe in stunning flacons with engraved and
gilded labels placed in elegant leather and wooden boxes lined with
silk. But Coty's neighbor RenLalique was imaginative enough to envision
infinite and daring decorative possibilities. Since the early twentieth
century, dozens of other perfume companies have turned to Lalique to
design bottles of extraordinary elegance. These bottles are continually
growing in popularity among collectors who are willing to pay tens of
thousands of dollars for rare examples; less rare pieces can still be
purchased for around . Flea markets, country auctions, and
house sales include exceptional bargains for the persistent and
knowledgeable collector. Museums and galleries worldwide continue to
sponsor extensive exhibitions of Lalique's work. Lalique Perfume
Bottles will be an invaluable addition to the libraries of collectors..
