All About Us

Rene Lalique was the greatest glassmaker of the 20th Century. His output of glass spanned the time of Art Nouveau thru the Art Deco Period, and extended until the spreading World War II consumed all of Europe He was also the greatest jewelry designer of the late 19th Century continuing thru the first few years of the 20th Century as well. His moniker, R.

How We Operate

Oviatt Building Doors In Los Angeles by Rene Lalique

There are no employees at RLalique.com.

An untold number of Rene Lalique enthusiasts have contributed countless hours to the operation of the website, providing information and assistance on virtually every subject throughout the site. These volunteers have helped to create a richer and more informative gathering place for the entire collecting community. Their contributions range from a one time note or email with specific information, ideas, or advice, to the efforts of several enthusiasts who have contributed literally hundreds of hours of their time and expertise in support of our efforts. While no contributor has asked for any recognition of any kind, which is in line with our philosophy to keep the focus on René Lalique and his works and not any individuals, the efforts and assistance of several people has been so extensive and so unselfish over the years, that we mention them here.

Laurens Tartasky: Longtime collector and dealer in the works of Rene Lalique. Laurens has been involved with R. Lalique for approximately 40 years. He has provided expert advice and information on topics spanning virtually the entire collecting field.

John Nemeth: Longtime collector. John's continuing contributions began even before RLalique.com became an address on web. Much of the website, both what you see today and what you will see in the future, has benefited from the input and ideas sorted out with John's highly practical advice over many hours as the site progressed from bare outline to detailed implementation.

Andy Feltz: Longtime collector. Andy may be the person that has owned more pieces of R. Lalique in the new millennium than anyone else in the world. Andy has provided extensive advice and information on a wide variety of R. Lalique subjects.

When you read the testimonials from the link above, some of the comments you see there are the result of the work of anonymous (and now a few not so anonymous) volunteers dedicated to providing education, help, and information to other enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Their only expectation has been the satisfaction of knowing that they helped create a better collecting field and gave something back to the larger community involved with the works of the great Rene Lalique.

In that regards, we have many plans and projects to continue to improve the website, and we can always use more help. If you want to volunteer your time and expertise on projects big or small, on a one-time or continuing basis, send us an email. We'll be glad to talk over opportunities and areas we can work on together to create a better and even more informative gathering place for all enthusiasts and collectors.
