The Muller brothers, founders of the Muller Frères glassworks, are French art glassmakers of the Art Nouveau era. The Muller family, originally from Kalhausen (Moselle), settled in Lunéville in 1870. Three of the brothers, Henri (1868-1936), Désiré (1877-1952) and Eugène (1883-1917) Muller were recruited by Émile Gallé in as clerks or glass engravers-decorators. But, in 1897, Henri Muller left Émile Gallé, taking many secrets with him. He created his own glass decoration workshop in Lunéville where he was joined by his eight other brothers, his sister and his father. Its production is in direct competition with that of Gallé. Émile Gallé maintains a tenacious grudge against the Mullers, he writes a few years before his death (1904): “The wretch who leads the gang must have taken a mass of notes from my books and likewise my recipes, although under lock and key. »
At the time, the glasses were blown in Croismare, in the Hinzelin goblet factory, then decorated in Lunéville. A second glassworks was established in Lunéville itself in 1910. The two Muller brothers' factories specialized in art glassware. Many pieces come out of it, of good technical quality and very close to those produced in the Gallé factory in Nancy: vases, lamps and typically Art Nouveau trinkets. The Muller company becomes prosperous and the factory employs up to three hundred people. Production subsequently evolved towards the Art Deco style, creating in the 1920s numerous ceiling lights in marmoreal glass with frames being made of brass, bronze or wrought iron.
The pieces that leave their workshops are signed as follows: Muller Croismare, for pieces produced in the Hinzelin glassworks (before 1914); Muller Frères Lunéville (from 1919); Muller Fres or Muller Fres Lunéville. Following the Great Depression, the factory closed in 1936.

You can contact me for more information and for the delivery costs. he Muller brothers, founders of the Muller Frères glassworks in Luneville, are French art glassmakers of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. The family includes nine brothers and one sister. They were all trained in the art of glassmaking. The best known are Eugène Muller (1883-1914), Désiré Muller (1877-1952) and Henri Muller (1868-1936). Although several works state that the Muller brothers, originally from Kalhausen (Moselle), settled in Lunéville in 1870, 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 older brothers of the Muller family, Emile, Henri and Désiré, were hired by Emile Gallé as clerks or engravers-decorators on glass. The older brothers of the Muller family had been trained in glassmaking at the Saint Louis crystal factory and at the Meisenthal glassworks alongside Désiré Christian. But in 1897, Henri Muller left Emile Gallé, perhaps taking with him some of his manufacturing secrets. He started a partnership with the Croismare glassworks. His production is in direct competition with those of Emile Gallé and the Daum factory. At that time, the glasses are blown in Croismare, in the glass factory called Hinzelin gobeleterie. A second glass factory was established in Lunéville itself in 1910. Both factories specialize in art glass. Numerous pieces were produced, of good technical quality and very similar to those produced in the Gallé factory in Nancy: vases, lamps and trinkets typically Art Nouveau. The production is most often in multi-layered glass, cut with a wheel or engraved 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 Val-Saint-Lambert crystal works in Seraing, Belgium. Their work consisted of creating a series of decorative glassware in the Art Nouveau and Ecole de Nancy style. After the First World War, the Muller company became prosperous and the factory employed up to three hundred people. Production then evolved towards the Art Deco style, creating in the 1920s many ceiling lights in marmorated glass (glass of several colors, pigments being incorporated) or pieces of molded glass, the mounts being in brass, bronze or wrought iron.
