R. Lalique Authentication Overview

1. IT'S FREE! The first step is to check out the photos in our Fake Lalique section to see if your item is pictured. If you don't see it there, and you are concerned it might be a fake, email or mail us a photo of your item, and any other info you have such as color and size, we will tell you (if we know from the photo) for no obligation, FOR FREE, if it's RLalique or not. Just click this Submit Photo link to get started or get our email address from the Contact Section if the submit link does not open your email program and put our email address on the "To" line. Photograph Submittal Guidelines are at the bottom of this page. Please read them. Also, please submit only one photo. If we need added photos to make a determination, we will let you know. By submitting a photo to us for a free authentication, you authorize us to use the photo in the normal course of things as specified in the Photograph Submittal Guidelines. Remember, there are no catches, no hidden charges, no charges of any kind. If we can tell you from the photo if your item is or is not RLalique, we will do it for free.

PLEASE NOTE: We reserve the right to limit the number of free authentications. Also, this service is for an item that you own. If you are interested in having an item you are considering for purchase authenticated, please see our Rene Lalique Consulting Services.

2. If we tell you your item is not RLalique, and you want additional information, such as getting the actual identity of the company that did make the piece, there is a small charge (typically $20), assuming we can identify the item for you. The email we send you after we see your photo will give you your options and how to select one if you are interested.

3. In the rare circumstance where we cannot say from the photo or photos if the item is RLalique or not, we will let you know what steps we recommend and/or what options there are to authenticate the item. But again, there is NO obligation of any kind.

4. If you require any additional advice or information such as a Lalique Appraisal, or advice on selling your item or items, check our R Lalique Sellers Services Section, where we offer a wide range of options for sellers of RLalique. Our Lalique Consulting Services Section may also be helpful if your requirements are more complex than just wanting to sell an item or items.

NOTE: All authentications are given in writing via email or letter. We do not give authentications orally or informally over the phone or in conversation. We only do so in writing. Nothing said in any conversation of any kind should be considered an authentication.

By the way, none of the pieces shown on this page are RLalique.

Photograph Submittal Guidelines

Any photo you send us should have the item in profile, showing the item as it would be displayed on a shelf in your home. The closer the better (while still showing the entire piece) and the better the lighting and detail, the better. The plainest background you can manage behind the item, and no writing, signs or people in the photo please. Be sure to include the size of the item (to the nearest 1/16 inch or millimeter) and your name and phone number in the email with any additional information you think might be helpful concerning the item. One photo is all we want you to send for an authentication. Sellers may want to send several photos. If we need added photos after seeing the first email, we will contact you. By sending a photo to us for a free authentication or for any other reason, sending us any unsolicited photo, or in all other circumstances where a photo is sent to us, unless we agree explicitly in writing to the contrary in advance, you are agreeing to allow us to use that photo in the normal course of things, including posting it on the website, using it an article or other published material, watermarking and editing it, or for any other reason.
