"Soliflore Signed René Lalique In Molded Pressed Glass 20th Century"
This pressed-molded glass soliflore perfectly illustrates the expertise of René Lalique, a master glassmaker of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. His work with glass, combining transparency and sculptural reliefs, gives this piece remarkable depth and richness of detail.
Lalique frequently drew inspiration from nature for his creations, as evidenced here by the motif of entangled fish, recalling his attraction to aquatic fauna. This type of piece was prized as much for its aesthetic as for its refinement, embodying the luxury and elegance of early 20th-century French design.
