The Magic of Lalique

About the Event:

The magic begins when you step inside the ethereal Maison d’Artiste. Spring is in the air. Enchantment surrounds. Beauty beckons. Early spring is the perfect time to celebrate the sublime artistry of Lalique. Lalique authority Nicholas Dawes will trace the history of the jeweler René Lalique, who opened his first Paris workshop 1885. By 1905 the shop had moved to Place Vendôme and begun featuring glasswork as well. Join us in the exquisite Townhouse and see how Lalique still dazzles well into the twenty-first century. A reception will follow Mr. Dawes’s presentation.

This is a members-only event and can accommodate only 25 people, so this will fill quickly.
