Lalique is a French luxury glassmaker, founded by renowned glassmaker and jeweler René Lalique (1860-1945) in 1888. Lalique is best known for producing glass art, including perfume bottles, vases, and hood ornaments during the early 20th Century. René began his career as a jewelry 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 when he founded the Lalique brand. Within a decade Lalique was one of the best known jewelers, and remained so until René’s death. Lalique transitioned to producing lead glass (crystal) works during the 1950s while under the direction of René’s son Marc, operating as “M. Lalique” and later as “Cristal Lalique.” Marie-Claude Lalique took control of the company following Marc’s death in 1977. It was sold to Pochet in 1994, and became part of the Swiss partnership of Art & Fragrance and the holding company Financière Saint-Germain in 2008. Since 2010, Cristal Lalique has been wholly owned by Art & Fragrance, who rebranded them in 2016 as Lalique Group SA. The company is ultimately owned by Silvio Denz, an entrepreneur and Swiss national. Today, Lalique produces an array of luxury products in five main categories: jewelry, decorative items, interior design, perfumes, and art. The company’s sole remaining production facility is the Cristallerie Lalique in Wingen-sur-Moder. It was opened in 1921 as the Verrerie d’Alsace (Alsace Glassworks) and given its present name in 1962.
