Lalique - Victoire sculpture clear crystal 

In 1925, René Lalique began the design of thirty car mascots to adorn the vehicles of the day. Originally made of glass, the Victoire Mascot is one of the most stunning of these figurines. Designed in 1928, Victoire is a story of peace, created to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the November 11th, 1918 armistice of World War I. The suggestion of speed and movement is evident in Victoire's beautiful face. The artistic combination of satin-finish, clear crystal and light bring Victoire to life.

Lalique

Before becoming a brand, it was the name of a man, a genius artist, René-Jules Lalique and his heirs who shared his creative flame. René Lalique was born in Aÿ-en-Champagne in the Marne region of France. A few years later, the Lalique family moved to Paris, but continued to spend the holidays in Aÿ. René Lalique remained deeply attached to his birthplace throughout his life. In 1887 he opened a business in Rue du Quatre-Septembre. Already in 1888 he designed his first finely wrought gold Parures inspired by antiquity and japonism, breaking the tradition of jewelry with the inclusion of innovative materials in his pieces. In 1888,  he recorded his "RL" stamp and engraved the unique pieces created in his workshop with these letters.
