René Jules Lalique (1860 – 1945) was a French glass designer known for his creations of glass art, perfume bottles, vases, jewellery, chandeliers, clocks and automobile hood ornaments. Calouste Gulbenkian (1869–1955), the famous collector, was a friend of René Lalique’s for fifty years, as well as a great connoisseur of the various activities of this versatile artist. Between 1899 and 1927 he acquired eighty extraordinary works of art directly from the artist, the world’s largest collection of jewelery, art objects, artistic glass, and drawings by René Lalique. Today, these are conserved in an exclusive space inside the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon.
