Champs-ÉLysées Wall Sconce, Clear Crystal, Gilded Finish

From the sconce to the monumental chandelier, Lalique was inspired by the Champs-Élysées bowl designed in 1951 by Marc Lalique to create this lighting collection. The finely veined leaves are reminiscent of the sumptuous alleys of plane-trees that run alongside the "most beautiful Avenue of the World". Through these pieces, it is almost as if the soul of Paris was captured, frozen in crystal. Through a mysterious alchemy, the light shining through the purity of the crystal creates ever changing reflections, making every piece unique.

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.
