Rene Lalique ...

Rene Jules Lalique (6 April 1860, Ay, Marne – 5 May 1945, Paris) known for his creations of perfume bottles, vases, jewellery, chandeliers, clocks and automobile hood ornaments. 

Lalique's early life was spent learning the methods of design and art. At the age of two, his family moved to a suburb of Paris, but travelled to Ay for summer holidays. These trips influenced Lalique's later naturalistic glasswork. In 1872, when he was twelve, he entered the Collège Turgot where he started drawing and sketching. Two years later Lalique began working as an apprentice to goldsmith Louis Aucoc in Paris and attended evening classes at the Ecole des arts de'coratifs 1874-76. He  subsequently spent two more years at the Crystal Palace School of Art Sydenham, London where his skills for graphic design were improved, and his naturalistic approach to art was further developed. 

When he returned from England, he worked as a freelance artist, designing pieces of jewellery for French jewellers, Cartier, Boucheron and others. In 1885, he opened his own business and designed and made his own jewellery and other glass pieces. By 1890, Lalique was recognized as one of France's foremost Art Nouveau jewellery designers; creating innovative pieces for Samuel Bing's new Paris shop, Maison de l'Art Nouveau. He went on to become the most famous in his field, his name synonymous with creativity, beauty and quality.

In the 1920s, he became noted for his work in the Art Deco style. His most famous work being the interior fittings, cross, screens, reredos, font of St.Matthew's Church at Millbrook in Jersey (Lalique's Glass Church). His earlier experiences in Ay were his defining influence in his later work. As a result, many of his jewellery pieces and vases showcase plants, flowers and flowing lines.
