Fleurs De Cerisier Lacquered Wood Box Large Size, Clear Crystal, Pink And Burgundy Lacquered Wood

The savoir faire of lacquering wood is a thousand-year-old tradition in Asia. In Vietnam, Lalique met exceptional craftsmen who keep this heritage alive. With amazing talent and expertise, they fashion these boxes, trays and frames in carved wood coated with fifteen layers of lacquer. A satin-finished crystal motif, produced in the Lalique Manufacture located in France, highlights each design. The encounter of these two know-hows - that of lacquer and that of crystal - gives birth to unique creations. Trained as a jeweler at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in the late 1880's, Rene Lalique gained recognition as an independent designer for some of the era's great jewelry houses including Cartier and Boucheron. Eventually, he turned to glassmaking, and his techniques were a triumph for the Art Deco movement. Every piece of Lalique is finely detailed and produced by hand in Alsace, France.
