Lalique Arms Up Acrobat Nude Figure
-
Description
Presenting a beautiful Lalique arms up acrobat nude figure in mint condition.
From 2005 and purchased from Neiman Marcus here in Dallas, TX.
It still has it’s original receipt, box, papers and labels, including the original; purchase price of $1,640.
This piece has always remained in it’s original box and was never placed on display (until now in our Gallery) and therefore has remained in absolutely MINT condition.
Allowing for simple inflation $1,640 converts to over $2,200 in today’s value.
It features a nude lady acrobat with her arms aloft over her head in pose, with a flowing sash extending from her hands, draping her body to the base plinth. It is a mixture of clear and opalescent glass.
Lalique is a French glassmaker, founded by renowned glassmaker and jeweler René Lalique in 1888. Lalique is best known for producing glass art, including perfume bottles, vases, and hood ornaments during the early twentieth century. Following the death of René, Lalique transitioned to producing lead glass (crystal) works during the 1950s while under the direction of René’s son, Marc Lalique. Since 2010, Lalique has been owned by Swiss company Art and Fragrance.
René Lalique (1860-1945) began his career as a jewelery apprentice at the age of 16, and by 1881 he was a freelance designer for many of the best-known Parisian jewelers. In 1885, he opened his own workshop on Place Gaillon in Paris, the former workshop of Jules Destape In 1887, Lalique opened a business on Rue du Quatre-Septembre, and registered the “RL” mark the following year. In 1890, he opened a shop in the Opera District of Paris. Within a decade, Lalique was amongst the best-known Parisian jewelers.
Today, Lalique produces an array of luxury products in five main categories: jewelery, decorative items, interior design, perfumes, and art. The company is best known for the production of artistic glass works, primarily using crystal (lead glass) since the mid-20th century. The addition of perfumes (in 1992) and non-glass decorative items and art (since 2011) are recent additions to Lalique’s product line. Reproductions of designs by René Lalique have increased since 2009.
