A Marc Lalique cactus table that made $22,200 was the highlight of Gallery 95 Auction's Anniversary sale that took place in South Carolina on September 22.
 The table was designed by Marc Lalique in the 1950s |
The table, created in the 1950s, is one of the most important and influential works by the French designer - son of the famous glassmaker Rene Lalique.
Following the death of his father, Marc took over the family business - designing objects and furniture from his preferred medium of crystal.
The cactus was initially built as part of an aquarium-themed window display. Following a successful reception, Lalique turned the piece into a table. It now features in a number of high profile museums.
