Lalique Museum now open !

keith — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 13:38:07 +0000

The Lalique Museum is now open It's called locally the Musée Lalique.

It's quite a largish museum (900 sq meters) and houses Glass and Crystal made by Rene Lalique.

It's situated in the town of Wingen-sur-Moder in the Alsace region of France.

The museum stands on the site of the 18th Century site Where Rene Lalique started his factory. It also houses an exhibition of the history of Glass making and a large display of glass pieces designed by Rene Lalique.

As well as the glass items you'll also see his Jewellery,Perfume Bottmes, Statues and his Art Deco Designs.

There are also temporary changing displays which will be changed a couple of times each year.

This is an unmissable opportunity for any fan of Rene Laliques work or indeed of Art Nouveau or Art deco art objects.

Prior to this musems opening, you could only see Lalique's work at the Musee D'Orsay or a few other important museums (some even in Japan)

There's a guided tour and audiovisual and multi-media exhibitions to give you a fuller experience of the Art Nouveau Period (1890-1905)

You can also visit the rest of the site and nearby is the Cristallerie Lalique where Lalique Cristal is still produced.

The factory was originally called the Verrerie d'Alsace.

Its an interesting museum - not least becausee may of the exhibits are from the private collections of Lalique and have never previously been seen by the public.

Art deco design

Art Deco was a finer point of Laliques work with strong geometrical designs and simplistic patterns
This is currently an undervalued area in my opinion

Lalique Art Nouveau Collectible

Lalique art nouveau collectibles include a wide range of possibilities.

This was a time when Rene Lalique was mainly a creative and inspired Jeweller who based his designs mainly on naturalistic swirling creations that featured a multitude of plants and creatures - but always with his own original creative twist.

Rene Lalique

You can see Dragonflies with the body and torso of a beautiful young girl and yet with incrediblly lovely dragonfly wings or rings with Egyptian Scarab beetles that have multiple jewelled eyes.

Lalique Art Nouveau dragonfly

Nothing like these had ever been seen before and it was the friendship with Rene Lalique and Actress Sarah Bernhardt that lead to Lalique meeting Calouste Gulbenkian who became his greatest Patron.

Gulbenkian commissioned stunning necklaces,rings and other jewellery that features in many modern museums.

Rene Lalique became the most desired Jeweller in Paris and he listed nobility,actresses,Royalty of Europe among his clients.

Then came his next step... Perfume Bottles

Lalique art nouveau perfume bottle

His Friend François Spoturno ( who was later known as Coty )commisioned a range of exquisite perfume bttles and almost every fashionable woman in Paris needed right - NOW !

This lead to a rush of other perfumiers and a rapid growth of the Lalique Business.

The combination of Lalique designs and glass lead to a further huge growth of the company.

Many of these can be viewed at the Lalique Museum in Wingen sur moder in Northern France or at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris.

The best Collection of Lalique Automobile Hood Ornaments is at the Toyota Collection in Japan.

A superb collection of Rene Jules Lalique Jewellery can be viewed at the Musee Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon Portugal.

The Museum of Fine aArts is also worth visiting and has an excellent Lalique collection.

Comments are welcome when they relate to Lalique and his glass and jewellery only.

Irradiated Glass

keith — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:48:35 +0000

Irradiated Glass.

Some Lalique Glass varies in value according to color.
Some collectors are prepared to pay more for rare differences in color .
These effects were due to differences in additives originally designed to enhance and clarify glassware.

Up until 1930 some glassmakers used Manganese to remove color defects from pressed glass.
This worked well but eventually changed the basic color of the glass when it was exposed to sunlight for a long time.
Arsenic was also used in glassmaking and the color changed to yellow (remember the very old headlamps on cars ?)

It is changes like these that appeal -however there are now services on the internet that will take a not so scarce item and irradiate it (for a fee) and it then morphs into a more desirable color.

Collectors obviously hate this. There are services that will examine glass and report of the likelyhood of irradiation but these are intrusive examination (may require a tiny chip of glass to be removed) and charge several hundred dollars.

A Quick guide is that the most popular color at the moment seems to be purple.
It is very easy to make the piece go too purple in an irradiation process and you may wishe to make enquiries about pieces that look too dark !
If you are purchasing by auction, it is very easy to check the vendors previously sold items -
For instance,if they have recently sold four or five Bacchantes Purple vases then that might be a clue for you not to buy !

Most glassware has NOT been irradiated and it is really only something you should worry about with very expensive pieces.
(If you are buying an expensive piece then please ask for a certificate of authenticity anyway )
