The Iconic French Art Deco ‘Bacchantes’ pattern was originally designed by Rene Lalique in 1927 and made by Lalique since. “The female form was one of René Lalique’s most constant sources of inspiration throughout his career. The Bacchantes correspond to the Maenads of Greek mythology. The young priestesses of Bacchus – depicted naked in a bas-relief, performing a round dance to celebrate the god of wine, the vine and excess – exude a haunting aura of sensuality.” ~ Musée Lalique see also Lalique (France, Est. 1888); Rene Lalique (France, 1860-1945); Marc Lalique (France, 1900-1977)
