Lalique - Zeila Panther small sculpture purple crystal 

This autumn, Lalique takes us into a new world, somewhere between mystery and dreams. Thanks to the creation of an innovative dusk purple crystal, the new VESPER collection immerses us in a unique feeling of nightfall, between shadow and celestial light. A journey into the heart of Art, an ode to delicacy, sensuality and poetry.

Designed by Marie-Claude Lalique, the Zeila Panther embodies the strength and grace of an aggressive big cat. Through its design, the powerful muscles of the Panther are evident under its crystal fur and numerous spots, enhanced by the dreamy purple twilight.

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.
