Lalique is a French luxury glassmaker, founded by glassmaker and jeweller René Lalique in 1888.
History
René Lalique (1860–1945) began his career as a jewellery apprentice at the age of 16, and by 1881 he was a freelance designer for many of the best-known Parisian jewellers. The company is ultimately owned by Silvio Denz, an entrepreneur and Swiss national.
