Muller Frères Luneville Art Nouveau period lamp

About the Item

Large gilded bronze lamp from the early 20th century, Art Nouveau period. Glass paste tulip by Muller Frères. In perfect condition, electrified, E14 socket. Height: 61.5 cm Base diameter: 15 cm Width: 26 cm Weight: 5.5 Kg The Muller brothers, founders of the Muller Frères glassworks, are French art glassmakers from the Art Nouveau period. 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 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. His production was in direct competition with that of Gallé. Émile Gallé held a tenacious grudge against the Mullers, writing a few years before his death (1904): "The wretch who leads the gang must have taken a mass of notes from my books and also my recipes, even though they were under lock and key." At the time, the glasses were blown in Croismare, in the Hinzelin glassworks, 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 came out of them, of fine technical quality and very close to those produced in Gallé's factory in Nancy: vases, lamps and typically Art Nouveau trinkets. The Muller company became prosperous and the factory employed up to three hundred people. Production subsequently evolved towards the Art Deco style, creating in the 1920s many ceiling lights in marbled glass with frames made of brass, bronze or wrought iron. The pieces that came out of their workshops were thus signed: Muller Croismare, for the 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.
