The Lalique Legacy
Not only a glassmaker, René Lalique was a visionary artist. During the Art Nouveau and Art Deco eras, he completely transformed how decorative glass was perceived, turning everyday objects into breathtaking pieces of art. His designs—featuring nature-inspired motifs, elegant female figures, and a touch of the ethereal—remain as ageless today as when they first debuted.
It's no wonder Lalique glass continues to attract collectors worldwide.

What Makes Lalique Glass So Collectable?
Designs That Stand Out
Lalique’s attention to detail is second to none. Each piece feels like a miniature masterpiece, be it a vase adorned with grapes and vines, or a frosted glass figurine that plays with light like magic.
It’s a Look That Never Goes Out of Style
Inspired by nature and exquisitely elegant, Lalique’s designs fit effortlessly into any space or collection. They’re as perfect for a modern minimalist shelf as they are for a vintage-inspired display.
Its Rarity Adds Excitement
Some Lalique pieces are limited editions or out of production, making them even more desirable. The rarity adds to their charm—and their value. Easy Live Auction often features these harder-to-find gems, giving bidders a chance to add something truly special to their collection.
Rich History in Every Piece
From the glamourous Art Deco movement to René Lalique’s unequivocal influence on jewellery and design, each piece has its own story — and with it, it carries its own history.
