Cast in crystal that seems to glow from within, this beautiful brooch features a fancy feline.
Lalique, renown today for its fine crystal and jewelry, as well as other luxury goods, was founded by René Lalique in the 1888, who began his career as a jeweler creating delicate and striking art nouveau designs. In 1905, he opened a new shop that offered not only jewelry, but elegant glass objects as well. Lalique soon began producing elaborate perfume bottles for makers such as Coty and by the 1920s, Lalique glass was considered some of the finest in the world. After René's death in 1945, the company passed on to his son, Marc, who began manufacturing Lalique's glass designs in fine lead crystal, as well creating new jewelry designs. This pretty kitty is a retired design and is no longer available from Lalique.
