Auction alert: René Lalique and his Contemporaries

The René Lalique and his Contemporaries sale is being held by Kingham Auctioneers in the market town of Moreton-in-Marsh in the Cotswolds. The auction takes place on Thursday 9th December, starting at 1pm.

On our web shop, we tend to concentrate on art glass from the mid-20^th century period. However, sometimes work from other, usually earlier, periods is so wonderful, we just can’t resist. In fact, we featured Lalique previously in one of our Designer Desire posts.

The sale may be René Lalique and his Contemporaries, however, we’ve chosen to concentrate only on some of the pieces by the great man himself. The items on offer at this auction are of the highest quality. The forms, the craftsmanship, the colours, the patterns and the textures are simply scrumptious!

You can bid in the room on the day of the sale, leave commission bids on the books or reserve a telephone line. The buyer’s premium rates at this auction house are as follows:

23% + VAT on the first £200,000 of the hammer price
18% + VAT on the excess of £200,001 and up to £1,000,000
15% + VAT on the excess of £1,000,001

You may also bid, either beforehand or live, via the following online bidding platforms:

drouotonline.com (3% plus VAT surcharge)
