By the time he was 47 years old, RenLalique (1860-1945) was already an artist of international renown, and the greatest jeweler of his time. However, in 1907, the direction of his life changed dramatically when Franis Coty gave him a modest commission to design unique lettering for use on Coty perfume labels. This initial project was quickly followed by several others for Coty, and soon for many other perfumers. RenLalique embarked enthusiastically upon his second career, becoming the greatest glass artist and industrialist of the 20th century. His creativity revolutionized the perfume industry, and elevated the presentation of perfume, and beauty products to the level of an art form. In this lavishly illustrated art book, Christie Mayer Lefkowith presents a comprehensive photographic and historical review of the art of RenLalique, as expressed in the flacons and powder boxes that he created for perfumers, and also as decorative objects to be sold by RenLalique et Cie.
