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.

Son of Russian emigrants, Michel Zadounaïsky settled in France in 1916. I In 1920, he discovered the work of wrought iron by joining the Fournet chandelier factory. He also devoted himself to repoussage en ronde bosse, that is to say the confrontation with the metal with only a hammer for a tool, and with the help of fire, techniques in which he became a master. In 1924, he opened his first workshop in Lyon and worked there until 1953, becoming one of the emblematic figures of Lyon's decorative arts. Michel Zadounaïsky regularly exhibited pieces influenced by the Art Deco style in the Lyon Salons. From the 1930s onwards, his themes became more personal, and a whole bestiary of animals appeared, sometimes bordering on the fantastic and the strange. Naturalized in 1948, Michel Zadounaïsky continues to realize, in close and intimate collaboration with Buer (bookbinder) and Dumaine (glassmaker), objects intended for a wealthy and enlightened clientele. Desiring to abolish the frontier between the liberal arts and the useful arts, he is a craftsman, an artist, and perhaps the only iron sculptor...
