René Lalique Perfume Bottles - Art Deco, The Beauty of Fragrance and Adornment

The Shoto Museum of Art
Finished

Artists

René Lalique
In nineteenth-century France, as fragrance culture was reaching its height, René Lalique (1860-1945) exquisitely captured the invisible world of “scent” through sophisticated glasswork embellished with flowers and fairies that glimmer in the palm of the hand. Centering on the diverse designs of Lalique’s perfume bottles, this exhibition features around 160 items, including accessories and women’s fashions of the era. Enter the gorgeous world of Lalique, who revolutionized glasswork and the commercial arts, and emerged as a central figure of the Art Deco movement.
