Lalique - Fleurs de Cerisier box L

The savoir faire of lacquering wood is a thousand-year-old tradition in Asia. In Vietnam, Lalique met exceptional craftsmen who keep this heritage alive. With amazing talent and expertise, they fashion these boxes, trays and frames in carved wood coated with fifteen layers of lacquer. A satin-finished crystal motif, produced in the Lalique Manufacture located in France, highlights each design. The encounter of these two know-hows - that of lacquer and that of crystal - gives birth to unique creations.

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.
