Established in 1903 in Corning, New York, by Frederick Carder and Thomas Hawkes, Steuben quickly earned its reputation as the foremost producer of fine American art glass in the early 20th century. The ceiling-mounted light embodies the movement’s signature harmony of nature-inspired design and refined craftsmanship, capturing the fluid elegance of the era.
Its gilt bronze frame is a triumph of Art Nouveau design, adorned with flowing acanthus leaf motifs that capture the organic grace of the period. Each of the four curving branches supports a delicate floral shade crafted from Steuben’s radiant Gold Aurene glass. These shades glow with a captivating iridescence, their golden and amber tones shifting beautifully in the light.
Frederick Carder’s creation of Aurene glass stands as a landmark in American decorative arts. Introduced in 1905 and produced until 1930, Gold Aurene demanded extraordinary technical precision. While still hot, each piece was sprayed with iron chloride, producing the unmistakable luster that became Steuben’s hallmark. This shimmering finish placed Steuben in the highest ranks of art glass makers, alongside celebrated contemporaries such as Tiffany Studios and Quezal.
