Note that the previous editions Vols 1 to 3 * were sold out very quickly and Vol 3 went into a reprint to satisfy demand! This is NOT Vol 4 but a completely new edition covering all of the car mascots, desk ornaments and trophies produced by the Lalique company from the start of production in the 1920s through to the post war years until the present day. This is a complete Reference Work
or Catalogue Raisonné, produced especially for collectors and scholars, as well as dealers, and which will be a very welcome reference for all auction houses to refer to in their catalogue descriptions.
*These have now become collector’s items in their own right, as you can see them offered at inflated prices on eBay, Amazon and other related websites... So, this edition may also have such a high demand in the future?
