Majorelle Exceptional and Rare Art Nouveau Bronze and Alabaster Lamp

About the Item

Majorelle lamp representing a flower, around 1900 in bronze and alabaster. Not signed. Electrified and in very good condition. Measures: Diameter: 26 cm (base) 30 cm (shell) Height: 77 cm Weight: 8 kg Louis Majorelle, French cabinetmaker, born in Toul in 1859 - Died in Nancy in 1926. He took over from his father Auguste (1825-1879), after his death, interrupting his studies at the École des Beaux-arts de Paris where he was studying under Jean-François Millet. He was converted to Art Nouveau by Emile Gallé. He is the most important representative of the School of Nancy since 1894. His work is characterized by the use of naturalistic elements in his forms and marquetry. He evolved towards simpler and more uncluttered forms shortly after his great success at the 1900 World's Fair and at the same time began mass production, which allowed him to rapidly enrich his catalog. He collaborates mainly with Jacques Gruber. He opened many exhibition stores, notably in Paris, Lyon and Oran, one of which he bought from Samuel Bing. His creations are sold throughout the world. The more common furniture is made in the workshops entrusted to Pierre Majorelle in Bouxières aux Dames in 1905. He continued in the same style after the 1914 war despite the change in fashion towards Art Deco.

  • Art Nouveau Lamp by Victor Saglier and Daum Nancy
    By Daum, Victor Saglier
    Located in NANTES, FR
    Gilt bronze lamp around 1900, probably by Majorelle executed by Victor Saglier. Stamped on the foot VS. Glass paste tulip signed Daum Nancy. Lamp electrified and in perfect condition. Total height: 38.5 cm - 15.15 in width: 15cm depth: 13cm weight: 2.3kg Victor Saglier (1809 - 1894) Victor Saglier is a ceramist and goldsmith known in particular for his creations in the Art Nouveau style of the late 19th century. He produces, among other things, objects in enamelled glass, gilded metal and numerous pieces of silverware. On his death, the company was bought by his brothers who continued production until 1948. Victor Saglier's objects are signed by the "VS" brand. Known for his Art Nouveau work, Saglier made several pieces for Louis Majorelle, Daum and Émile Gallé. Its style is typically French Art Nouveau in the language of the École de Nancy. He often drew inspiration from nature for his work, the logic of which helped design both forms and settings. The sign of master goldsmith Victor Saglier is an oval-shaped three-master sailboat surrounded by the letters V and S in a rectangle. Saglier made everyday objects such as glass vases, bowls and pitchers with metal mounts, planters, tea and coffee services and candlesticks in bronze or silver-yellow metal or cast zinc. On his death, the Victor Saglier company at 12 rue d'Enghien in Paris became Saglier Frères. It was run by his brothers Eugène and André until his death in 1948. Daum (French establishment created in 1878) is a glass and crystal workshop located in Nancy. Founded by the industrialist and notary Jean Daum, the workshop was then taken over by his sons Auguste and Antonin, who ran it during the Art Nouveau period. It was not until the Universal Exhibition of 1900 that the company was at the forefront of the decorative art scene, when Daum received the prestigious Grand Prix medal. At this time, Daum glass became more complex, acid treatment was often used in the cutting, enameling and etching of a piece to produce glass masterpieces. Daum also produces applied glass elements, such as handles and ornamental motifs in naturalistic shapes. The Daum brothers quickly became big names in Art Nouveau, rivaling the famous designer Émile Gallé, and established themselves as leaders in the field of decorative glass after his death. In 1906, Daum revived glass paste, a process by which glass is transformed into paste, then it is applied to the surface of a mold and fired. This technique originates from ancient Egypt. Today, Daum is the only industrial crystal manufacturer that uses the glass paste process for its glass objects and crystal sculptures. Following the First World War, Paul Daum began to develop works in the Art Deco style, moving away from naturalistic forms and turning to linear, angular, simplified forms and geometric patterns characteristic of the movement. After the Second World War, Henri and Michel Daum became interested in the transparency of glass and pure lines. Daum collaborates with a large number of famous artists, such as Louis Majorelle, Salvador Dalí, Hilton Mac Connico, Elizabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti to create glass paste objects.
