Lalique Art Nouveau Chandeliers

Lalique Chandeliers

Lalique produced many chandeliers - here are some you may find in your searches.

This is by no means an exhaustive list but has most of the lalique chandeliers that you may come across.
Prices vary wildly.Errors and ommissions excepted. There are reproductions around of Lalique Chandeliers.
I saw many reproductions for sale in the September market in Lille France.
Here you will find examples of both art nouveau and art decom chandeliers and lamps.
Condition is everything and it may be possible to replace parts of an art nouveau chandelier but remember that this will seriously devalue the piece if this is done with a modern copy !

Remember - if a lalique chandelier looks new and comes in a sealed box it is probably a reproduction.

Art Nouveau lamps and art nouveau chandeliers are usually more valuable than art deco chandeliers.
As with all art nouveau glass it is IMPORTANT to check for repairs on any piece you are considerin purchasing
A Lalique Chandelier should be considered as a work of art and cleaed only with a gentle bath of soap and water.
NEVER use spray-on kitchen or bathroom cleaners as these may damage the chandelier.
