Cactus Rectangular Table

DESCRIPTION

Designed in 1951, the Cactus Rectangular Table showcases Lalique's ability to craft ornate crystal furnishings based on a desert plant out of clear crystal.

Designed in 1951, the Cactus table seamlessly blends into the most creative interior design spaces: sublime crystal in prolific magnificence. The crystal volutes follow the rhythm of light, drowning the eye in its depths.

This majestic table embodies the creative genius and unique expertise of the glass masters.

In order to participate in the fashioning of this exceptional artwork, a craftsman must have received the distinction of Best Craftsmen of France. Successfully bringing together talent, timing and temperature, six dedicated glass masters combine an exceptional mastery of modern technique and traditional skill throughout the complex process involved in crafting these luxurious pieces. In the hot glass workshops, it takes eight to ten weeks of handwork to craft each of the eight legs, starting from 18 kg of crystal.

Lalique today is considered the jewel in the crown of the French glass and crystal industry since 1888 – a byword for excellence, a reputation earned through creating extraordinary pieces in crystal glass in its myriad variations. It is not for nothing that Lalique is also referred to as the ‘haute couture’ of crystal. Since 1922, every Lalique piece has been produced at their only factory, the Verrerie d'Alsace glassworks at Wingen-sur Moder, Alsace, in a French region with a strong historical glassmaking tradition.

Pre-order delivery is variable.
