  • Galle Cameo Glass Vase w/ Silver Fitting, ca. 1902
    May. 01, 2025

    Galle Cameo Glass Vase w/ Silver Fitting, ca. 1902

    Est: $1,300 - $2,050

    Emile Galle (French, 1846-1904). Cameo Glass Vase - Wisteria, ca. 1902-1903. Marked "Galle" in green glass on lower end of the vessel body. A beautiful Emile Galle cameo acid-etched glass vase presenting a dramatic silhouette featuring a voluminous globular body and an elegant cylindrical neck with a silver fitting over the upper neck/mouth. The cameo glass is adorned with a captivating wisteria motif comprised of mauve blossoms and spring green foliage against a frosted background of white, mauve, and spring green hues. A breathtaking example of Art Nouveau art glass by Emile Galle, a leading innovator of the French Art Nouveau movement. Size: 12.25" H (31.1 cm) About the Artist: Emile Galle was a French glass artist and designer who is widely regarded as one of the most innovative creatives of the French Art Nouveau movement. Galle is best known for his mesmerizing nature-inspired designs in Art Nouveau art glass and furniture. Galle was born in Nancy, France and his pursuit of art glass is not surprising given his family's influence. His father was a merchant who sold ceramics and glassware in Nancy, and his father-in-law owned a mirror factory in Nancy. His father eventually ran his mother's family business, manufacturing glassware adorned with floral motifs. Galle studied natural science and philosophy at the Lycee Imperial in Nancy, and at age sixteen he began working for the family business assisting his father in creating floral motifs in glass and faience. The young Galle also developed himself as a botanist, studying under D. A. Godron, director of the Botanical Gardens of Nancy and author of books about French botanicals. When his studies were complete, Galle went to Weimar, Germany to further his studies in botany, philosophy, drawing, and sculpture. Emile Galle would become a leading figure in the Art Nouveau movement in Nancy, France and co-founded the Ecole de Nancy or Nancy School in Nancy, France in 1901.

  • ÉMILE GALLÉ, (Nancy, France, 1846 - 1904). Vase. Cameo glass. Signed.
    Apr. 24, 2025

    ÉMILE GALLÉ, (Nancy, France, 1846 - 1904). Vase. Cameo glass. Signed.

    Est: €2,000 - €2,200

    ÉMILE GALLÉ, (Nancy, France, 1846 - 1904). Vase. Cameo glass. Signed. Measurements: 26 cm (height); 11 cm (largest diameter). Vase of cameo glass worked to acid, decorated with flowers of large pistils in reddish brown tone on a base in yellow and orange tones. It is a typical work of Gallé's industrial production, with large plant motifs captured with naturalism and movement, in an asymmetrical composition. Émile Gallé began his career working for his father, who owned a glass and ceramics factory, making designs with floral and heraldic motifs. Very interested in botany, he studied it in depth during his youth, alternating with drawing classes. Between 1862 and 1864, at his father's request, he traveled through Italy, England and Germany, becoming interested in the applied arts but also in subjects that he would later reflect in his works, such as music, philosophy and nature. On his return, he settled in Meisenthal, where his family's glass furnaces were, in order to fully learn the craft of glassmaking. He also traveled to London and Paris to see the collections of their museums. In 1874 he took over his father's factory, and soon achieved great international success, winning awards at international exhibitions and selling works to major collections and museums. Today, pieces made by Émile Gallé can be seen in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Orsay Museum in Paris, the Brohan Museum in Berlin and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among many others.

    PEONY LAMP

    Est: ¥10,000,000 - ¥15,000,000

    signed in cameo on the shade and the base certificate by Western Art Merchant Association of Japan This magnificent large lamp by Gallé features a garden of peonies that seem to bloom as if ignited when lit. Gallé created lamps in various sizes, and this piece, with a shade diameter of φ46 cm, stands out as one of the largest. Despite many similar works suffering damage due to their size, this piece is remarkably well-preserved, making it extremely valuable. The beautifully contrasting colors of the multi-layered cased glass showcase the peony petals in layers, intricately carved with varying depths through the technique of acid etching, capturing the realistic appearance of the robust leaves and stems that extend powerfully. By deliberately carving away the yellow inner layer, the vibrancy of the flowers is accentuated, resulting in a stunning finish. Additionally, the bronze fittings are decorated with scarab motifs, which is worth noting. It appears as if three charming scarabs have been attracted by the scent of the peonies, resting upon the leaves. This exquisite piece reflects Gallé's profound affection for plants and animals. A work with similar design was sold for 26 million yen at New Art Est-Ouest auctions in March 2022.

    VASE "IN PRAISE OF VALVE STEEL INDUSTRY"

    Est: ¥2,000,000 - ¥3,000,000

    We would like to thank Professor Samuel Provost of the University of Lorraine (Nancy, France) for his scholarly interest in this rare work. Please refer to the images of the article for more information. signed in intaglio on the body; inscribed "A MONSIEUR EMILE THOMAS SES AMIS ET COLLABORATEURS 1891-1931 (To Monsieur Emile Thomas / his friends and collaborators 1891-1931)" on the foot certificate by Western Art Merchant Association of Japan The Émile Thomas vase, created by Établissements Gallé around 1931, is a unique Art Deco piece commemorating Émile Thomas's 40-year career at the French steel company Hauts-Fourneaux et Fonderies de Pont-à-Mousson (PAM SA). The vase's design, attributed to Gallé's artistic director Auguste Herbst, features detailed scenes of cast-iron pipe production and global export, including imagery of Rio de Janeiro's Sugar Loaf Mountain. Additional motifs include international landmarks viewed through pipe cylinders and portraits symbolizing mining and commerce. Notably, the vase omits PAM SA's name and logo, suggesting it was a private gift from Thomas's colleagues rather than an official company commission. The inscription on the recessed foot at the base of the vase indicates that it was a gift: A MONSIEUR EMILE THOMAS SES AMIS ET COLLABORATEURS 1891-1931 (To Monsieur Emile Thomas / his friends and collaborators 1891-1931). The design draws inspiration from the Art Deco interiors of PAM SA's Nancy headquarters, particularly elements by artists like Jacques Grüber and Émile Just Bachelet. As one of the last private commissions before Établissements Gallé's closure in 1931, the vase holds significant historical and artistic value.

    CARP VASE

    engraved "E ⱡ G" in intaglio on the body certificate by Western Art Merchant Association of Japan The koi (Japanese, "carp") design on this vase is believed to be borrowed from the book "Gyokai-fu," published in 1802 by the Edo period ukiyo-e artist Kuwagata Keisai. In the late 19th century, the opening of Japan to the world had a significant impact on European art, with bold colors and compositions from Japanese art making a profound impression. This phenomenon, known as "Japonisme," is vividly expressed in this work, strongly reflecting Gallé's admiration for Japanese aesthetics.
