The Muller brothers, founders of the Muller Frères glassworks in Lunéville, were French art glassmakers of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. The family consisted of nine brothers and one sister. They were all trained in the glassworks trades. The best known were 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 1870, recent research has established that the elder brothers of this family left Moselle for Nancy for a very specific purpose: they were recruited in 1894 by Emile Gallé. Indeed, the Nancy-based master glassmaker changed his manufacturing strategy and severed 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 elder brothers of the Muller family, Emile, Henri, and Désiré, were then hired by Émile Gallé as clerks or glass engravers and decorators.
The elder brothers of the Muller family were trained in glassworks at the Saint Louis crystal factory and the Meisenthal glassworks alongside Désiré Christian.
But in 1897, Henri Muller left Émile Gallé, perhaps taking some manufacturing secrets with him. He entered into a partnership with the Croismare glassworks. His production was in direct competition with those of Emile Gallé and the Daum factory.
At the time, glass was blown in Croismare, in the glassworks known as the Hinzelin goblet factory. A second glassworks was established in Lunéville itself in 1910. Both factories specialized in art glassware. Many pieces emerged from them, of fine technical quality and very similar to those produced in Gallé's factory in Nancy: vases, lamps, and typical Art Nouveau ornaments.
The production was most often made of multi-layered glass, wheel-cut or hydrofluoric acid-etched with naturalistic representations. The finest pieces were finished with 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 at the Val-Saint-Lambert crystal works in Seraing, Belgium. Their work consisted of creating a series of decorative glassware in the Art Nouveau and Nancy School styles.
After the First World War, the Muller company prospered, employing up to 300 people. Production subsequently evolved toward the Art Deco style, creating numerous ceiling lights in the 1920s made of marbled glass (glass of several colors, with incorporated pigments) or molded glass pieces, with frames made of brass, bronze, or wrought iron.
Toilet sets, sprays, and perfume bottles were also manufactured in large numbers during this period.
Alongside this industrial production, artistic glassware continued to be 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 glassmaking training center.
