Cameo Glass Lamp
Émile Gallé
Circa 1900

This stunning cameo glass lamp displays the unparalleled artistry of the famed Art Nouveau master Émile Gallé, one of the most highly regarded names in French glassmaking. The artist's appreciation of nature is on full display in the vivid floral pattern acid-etched in varying layers of colored glass. The delicate trumpet flowers and their deep red foliage make a dramatic statement against the lamp's yellow form. When lit, the lamp emits an enticing warm glow.

Émile Gallé opened a small workshop in 1885, where he began experimenting with marquetry in furniture and naturalistic glass designs. In 1889, he displayed his new glass creations at the Paris International Exhibition, where the designs and colors not previously seen caused an immediate sensation. The new style of Art Nouveau had begun to appear, and the movement's aesthetics and devotion to nature appealed greatly to the young Gallé. In 1894, Gallé built a manufacturing plant in Nancy and began creating his own designs from inception through production. Gallé personally developed many of the designs, and he was known to actively make alterations and approve the designs of his talented team of designers and craftsmen he employed at the "Cristallerie d'Émile Gallé."
