Pagoda Lamp By Émile Gallé
About the Item
This Pagoda Cameo glass lamp is a highly rare and coveted example of Émile Gallé's mastery of glassmaking. Layers of vibrant color, from golden yellows to mauve, radiate from a background of elegantly frosted blue-green glass to form the scene of an Eastern-style pagoda. Gallé was inspired by the natural world and Japanese motifs, and this lamp demonstrates the popularity of East Asian design among Art Nouveau makers. Uncertain about the staying power of electricity at the turn of the century, he produced relatively few of these lamps, making surviving examples such as this quite scarce.
Considered one of the pioneers of Art Nouveau, Gallé was renowned for his naturalistic glass artistry. His titanic career had humble beginnings when he first began experimenting with marquetry and naturalistic glass designs from his small workshop in 1885. In 1889, he displayed his new glass creations at the Paris International Exhibition, and both his designs and colors caused an immediate sensation. Considered one of the pioneers of the Art Nouveau style, Gallé's legendary success at the Exposition Universelle of 1900 catapulted him to monumental fame.

- Gallé Cameo Glass Table LampBy Emile GalléLocated in New Orleans, LAStatuesque and artfully etched, this exquisite cameo glass table lamp is the work of the famed Art Nouveau master Émile Gallé, one of the most highly regarded names in French glassmaking. The artist's appreciation of nature is on full display in the detailed Marguerite daisy pattern carefully etched in varying layers of colored glass. The blooms dance across the lamp's amber-colored form in mesmerizing shades of purple and red. When lit, the lamp emits an enticing warm glow. Nearly two feet in height, the lamp is much larger than is typical of Gallé's pieces, yet it maintains its grace and proportion. Émile Gallé opened a small woodworker's shop in 1885, where he began experimenting with marquetry in furniture and naturalistic glass designs. In 1889, he displayed his new glass creations at the Paris International Exhibition, where the designs and colors not previously seen caused an immediate sensation. The new style of Art Nouveau had begun to appear, and the movement's aesthetics and devotion to nature appealed greatly to the young Gallé. In 1894 Gallé built a manufacturing plant in Nancy and began creating his own designs from inception through production. Gallé personally developed many of the designs, and he was known to actively make alterations and approve the designs of his talented team of designers and craftsmen he employed at the "Cristallerie D'Emile Gallé."
