Lot Essay

One of Lalique's rarest commercial perfume bottles, this model is one in a line of styles created for the perfumerie Volnay of Paris France & Suresnes France. The dynamic stopper reveals a female nude among a bramble of thorns and it is these two themes that repeatedly appear, although independently, both in the line of bottles created for Volnay as well as throughout his prodigious oeuvre.
