View Dimensions "Glass is a marvellous material."- René Lalique, 1925 Lalique is a French glassware design house founded by artist, master ceramist and jewellery designer René Lalique. One of the best-known designers of the Art Nouveau period, Lalique's glass designs often included dancing nymphs, fish, dragonflies, and foliage, typical of this period. His unique style played with the contrast between clear and frosted glass, sometimes embellished with a patina, enamel or stained glass. Before he started his own business in 1887, Lalique designed jewellery for prestigious houses such as Cartier and Boucheron. In a time when the emphasis was on the quantity of precious stones in a jewellery piece, Lalique, who was fascinated with the natural world, created nature-inspired pieces depicting animals and the female form. In 1888, he registered his "RL" stamp and engraved the unique pieces created in his workshop with these letters. In the next few years, Lalique had started experimenting with glassware, having already used enamel and glass with gold and precious stones in his jewellery designs. In 1907, Lalique met the famous perfumer François Coty, and created ornate perfume bottles for his early brands such as L'Effleur and Ambre Antique, and developed a technique that allowed mass production of glass bottles. By 1921, Lalique had fully devoted himself to glassmaking, and his efforts took him to Alsace in eastern France, which had a strong and historic glassmaking tradition. Here he established the Verrerie d'Alsace glassworks factory at Wingen-sur-Moder in Alsace. After Lalique's death in 1945, his son Marc took over and the company transitioned from producing its famous Lalique glass to crystal. It was named Cristallerie Lalique in 1962, and is now the world's only Lalique factory.

Lion
Buff SandstoneLate 11th Century...
View Dimensions Representations of lions have been seen for centuries in the Central Indian region. Apart from Kushan lions, which were stylistically very different, portrayals such as this one began from the 7th century onwards. Such earlier ones had certain traits and features that set them apart. All of them would have once formed part of old architecture, and would have mostly been placed as a pair to give the feeling of guardian beasts. Most such sculptures tend to be either just heads or the upper torso, if not full figures in a highly mutilated form. It is rare to find a large complete sculpture in such a good condition with such an imposing form. The beast is seen standing at attention on its hind legs. The tail is long and thrown up in a curl. The face is expressive with the mouth wide open in a realistic manner. The upper torso is majestic in appearance, and the paws are carved in a very realistic manner with great detailing. The motifs seen on the body are typical of the period. The entire look imparted is that of a very powerful ferocious creature. Lionel figures of this scale, completeness, condition and quality are very rare to come by. They would have once occupied a prominent spot in ancient architecture in Central India.
