About the Article
In 1928, René Lalique created the Merles et Raisins Head Down and Head Up decorative panels in white molded pressed glass on a silver background to embellish the Cuban mahogany marquetry of the Presidential Wagon in the famous Orient Express. The Merles et Raisins pattern is synonymous with elegance and the "Art de Vivre", featuring a delightful design of blackbirds pecking at tiny clusters of grapes. The intricacy of the motif, combined with the purity of the crystal, generates light effects that bring the piece to life. These panels have now been reinterpreted to embellish this bottle holder.
