The History
Behind the Glass
Created to adorn motor-car radiators and bonnets, Lalique’s glass mascots brought sculpture to the road. Birds, animals and human figures expressed the Art Deco era’s fascination with movement and form.
Today, their appeal reaches beyond motoring. Craftsmanship, rarity and documented provenance give each surviving object its own story.
