This is a beautiful Lalique Chandelier - but the chances of finding one in a fleamarket are fairly slim.(not impossible so keep looking !)

Lalique Chandeliers

It is much more likely that you can find an Art Deco Lalique Chandelier (everyone looks for Art nouveau examples ..)
So when you are looking for Laliqe or other majore makers it might be sensible to check out those sometime 1940s chandeliers .

Lalique produced many chandeliers - here are some you may find in your searches.

This is by no means an exhaustive list but has most of the lalique chandeliers that you may come across.

Prices vary wildly.Errors and ommissions excepted. There are reproductions around of Lalique Chandeliers.
I saw many reproductions for sale in the September market in Lille France.
I also saw fake Lalique Chandeliers for sale in Paris fleamarkets last week March 2009 (shiny,shiny - too shiny !)

Remember - if a Lalique chandelier looks new and comes in a sealed box it is probably a reproduction.

I saw several fakes at a Brocantes Fair in Paris last week - and a good few Daum copies too.

Lets be honest about this - a tatty vendor in a Paris fleamarket is really unlikely to have found three Lalique chandeliers (looking like new ) in his travels unless he was very,very lucky !
Regrettably he took in two tourists while I watched (come on now a Lalique Chandelier for 80 dollars !).Caveat emptor folks...
