Pair of French Bronze Sconces with Dolphins and Muller Fres Luneville Glass

About the Item

Pair of French bronze sconces with dolphins and Muller Fres Luneville glass. A beautiful pair of bronze sconces each with motifs of two dolphins and “Pâte de Verre” glass lampshades in white, blue, orange, and olive green tones, each signed Muller Fres Luneville. France, circa 1925. Each wall light has a socket for a B22-size light bulb. Dimensions: height: 25.5 cm / 10.04 in; width: 10 cm / 3.94 in; depth: 22 cm / 8.66 in. The sconces are in good condition consistent with age and use. The sconces are in complete working order, but as with all vintage or antique lighting, we would always suggest it is tested and fitted by a qualified electrician. The beautiful multicolored glass bowl was made in the “Pâte de Verre” technique, used in the production of multicolored glass: a cold-formed paste of glass powder and dyes is filled in a refractory mold and then fired in a muffle furnace, wherein the glass melts into the desired shape. To achieve polychrome color effects, the process is repeated with other colors. The production of Pâte de Verre is a slow process that requires a lot of manual skill to avoid bubbles, cloudiness, and cracks in the cooling process. The technique allows for accurate shapes and accurate color gradations in the workpiece, unlike any other glass processing technique. The technique was already known in ancient Rome and Egypt. Especially in the Art Nouveau period, and later in the Art Deco era, she found artistic use again in works by French glass artists such as Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, Henry Cros, Albert Dammouse, François Décorchemont, Amalric Walter, Émile Gallé, and George Despret. The Crystal Daum, a French manufacturer of commercial glassware, produced numerous works from Pâte de Verre.
