Description
A deceased sister (died early in 2001) collected Lalique, and we have stored much of it for many years. This particular piece is not only undamaged, but still has the original sticker as listed above on top between the feet, but also two stickers on bottom. One: Marshall Fields dept 113 class 043, vendor 004 style 11643 Liberte (accent on the last e) $1350.00. The other small one has simply 11643 handwritten.
I believe this is the only piece we have with the original stickers still on it. Would it be better to sell the pieces we have as a lot (a few have some small damage, and most are listed on various receipts from LaLique New York) or piece it out?
What's happening in the crystal market now?
Re: Lalique figure
Piece it out, bulk sales are not the way to go. At auction the Lalique eagles now sell in the $400.00- $475.00 range. The market is down for everything right now, when a major economic down turn hits collectibles and Art dumped to raise cash.

Re: Lalique figure
Thanks Lovejoy,
Is there any area of collectibles that fairs better?
Re: Lalique figure
Right now no. We have seen values drop as much as 50% for most collectibles in the last two years, only the rarest of the rare
seem to be holding their value or declining at a slower rate.
