About the Item

Art deco lamp circa 1930 in molded glass with geometric decoration. Patinated in red bun. In perfect condition, molded Muller Frères Luneville signature. Chrome-plated brass frame. 3 Lights and electrified. Height : 52 cm Diameter : 40 cm The Muller brothers, founders of the Muller Frères glass factory in Lunéville, are French art glassmakers from the Art Nouveau period and the Art Deco period. The family includes nine brothers and one sister. They will all be trained in the glass-working trades. The best known are Eugène Muller (1883-1914), Désiré Muller (1877-1952) and Henri Muller (1868-1936). While several works suggest that the Muller brothers, originally from Kalhausen (Moselle), settled in Lunéville in 18701, recent research has established that the older brothers of this family left the Moselle for Nancy for a very specific purpose: they were recruited in 1894 by Emile Gallé. Indeed, the master glassmaker from Nancy changed his manufacturing strategy and broke his commercial ties with the Meisenthal glassworks in 1894. That same year, Emile Gallé had his own glass furnaces built in Nancy and recruited workers: the eldest brothers of the family Muller, Emile, Henri and Désiré were then hired by Émile Gallé as clerks or engraver-decorators on glass. The elder brothers of the Muller family were trained in glass work at the Saint Louis crystal factory and at the Meisenthal glass factory alongside Désiré Christian. But, in 1897, Henri Muller left Émile Gallé, perhaps taking with him manufacturing secrets. He undertakes an association with the glassworks of Croismare. Its production is in direct competition with those of Emile Gallé and the Daum factory. At the time, the glasses were blown in Croismare, in the glassworks known as the Hinzelin goblet factory. A second glass factory was established in Lunéville itself in 1910. Both factories specialized in art glass. Many pieces came out of it, of good technical quality and very similar to those produced in the Gallé factory in Nancy: vases, lamps and typically Art Nouveau trinkets. The production is most often in multi-layered glass, wheel-cut or etched with hydrofluoric acid with naturalistic representations. The most beautiful pieces are finished by fire polishing to give them a beautiful shine. From 1905 to 1908, Désiré and Eugène Muller were recruited by Léon Ledru, director of the decoration workshop of the crystal works of Val-Saint-Lambert in Seraing in Belgium. Their work consists of creating a series of decorative glassware in the Art Nouveau and Ecole de Nancy style. After the war of 14-18, the Muller company became prosperous and the factory employed up to three hundred people. The production then evolved towards the Art Deco style, creating in the 1920s many ceiling lights in marmoreal glass (glass of several colors, the pigments being incorporated) or parts in molded glass, the mounts being in brass, bronze or iron. forge. Toiletries, sprays and perfume bottles were also made in large numbers at this time. In parallel with this industrial production, artistic glassware is still produced. Following the Great Depression, the Muller company went bankrupt in 1933 and the Croismare factory, which had been bought by Daum, closed at the end of 19341. In the 1950s, it was transformed into a learning center glassware.
