Lalique Glass

Q: My father was a Lalique glass collector. We inherited several lovely pieces and have no idea where to sell them. I would appreciate suggestions as to where the best venue for these items might be.

A: Lalique glass and jewelry were made by Rene Lalique (1860-1945) in Paris, France, between the 1890s and his death in 1945 and some is still being made. A manufacturing plant was built in Alsace in 1921. Lalique and Art & Fragrance became part of the Lalique Group in 2016. Lalique now makes perfume bottles, jewelry, sculptures, vases, and other decorative objects. Vintage Lalique glass pieces sell for several hundred to several thousand dollars. You should contact an auction house to sell your Lalique. Be sure to ask what the seller’s fees and other costs are.
