René Lalique (1860-1945) Exceptional Centerpiece 'Marguerites' (Marguerites) Colorless Crystal, Molded, Satin and Polished Signed 'Lalique France'

This magnificent centerpiece, named 'Marguerites', is a work that eloquently bears witness to René Lalique's creative genius and to the excellence upheld by Lalique France. Placed within the flourishing period of French Art Deco in the 1920s, this model, created in 1941, reinvents nature with characteristic sophistication and geometry.

The piece captures the essence of a delicate bloom, where a profusion of daisies and buds organizes into a perfectly balanced circular composition. Lalique’s magic operates through the striking contrast of textures: the floral motifs are executed in satin crystal, a process that confers the petals with a soft opalescence and a silky matte finish, subtly highlighting their volume with ethereal finesse. This matte texture echoes the radiant transparency of the base and edges, which, perfectly polished, catch and refract the light, creating a spellbinding dialogue between shadow and clarity.

Although this exemplar is posthumous to René Lalique's personal period of creation, it was produced according to the rigorous standards and historical know-how of the crystal house, guaranteeing absolute fidelity to the original drawing.
