An 18th century Irish mahogany tripod table with carved baroque scallop shells, circa 1760. Height 71 cm, diameter 83 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The table is structurally sound and in generally good condition. The top is flat with no serious condition issues. The shell carvings have some old edge nibbles and small losses none of which in our opinion are serious. The snap action operates as it should. The centre column is in generally good order as are the legs. One leg has had an old repair and the join line is just visible. The repair is strong and secure. The legs ends are a little scuffed and marked as one would expect. We can see no evidence of any woodworm.

RENÉ LALIQUE (Ay, France, 1860 - Paris, 1945).Set of five "Coquilles 5" bowls. France, ca. 1925.Translucent and opalescent cut glass. Upper profile in silver.Signed on the base "R. Lalique -France nº 3204".Work reproduced in "Le Catalogue Raisonné del L'Ouvre en Verre de R. Lalique", by Felix Marcilhac, Les Editions de l'Amateur, Pag. 748, nº 3204.Measurements: 5.5 cm (height); 13.3 cm (diameter).Set of five acid-etched, moulded opalescent glass bowls, each decorated with four reticulated shells. They are an exceptional combination of translucent and opalescent glass, the latter in a shade of blue in keeping with the marine theme. Upper profile in silver.Lalique was originally founded by René Jules Lalique (1860 - 1945), one of the most prominent glassmakers of the time, and one of the first to sculpt glass for great monumental works such as the fountains on the Champs Elysées. He enjoyed great renown for his original creations of jewellery, perfume bottles, glasses, plates, etc., in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. He trained with the Parisian jeweller Louis Aucoq, and then continued his studies at Sudenham Art College in London. The excellence of his creations and the taste he applied to his work earned him important commissions for the interior decoration of ships, trains such as the Orient Express, churches such as Saint-Nicasius in Reims, and numerous religious and civil goldsmiths' works. Lalique was not content with simply designing his models, but also founded a factory to produce them in large quantities, patenting several innovative glass manufacturing processes, and various technical effects such as "Lalique satin" or opalescent glass. Pieces by Lalique are preserved in prominent museums such as the Corning Museum of Glass and the Metropolitan Museum of Glass in New York, the Louvre and the Orsay Museum in Paris, among many others.
