Lion and Unicorn Specializes in GALLE CRYSTAL
Emile Gallé was a French artist and designer who co-founded the Art Nouveau movement. He was born in 1846 in Nancy, France, to a family with a noted history in the industry. His parents had a strong interest in the arts, and during his childhood, he developed his passion for glassmaking and ceramics.
Gallé trained to hone his skills at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. He took great inspiration from Japanese art, and enthusiasts can easily spot that influence. He also greatly admired nature and incorporated this theme into his work.
His works often featured flowers, leaves, and other natural sights, patterns, and hues. Many enthusiasts prize Emile Gallé’s work for its use of color, texture, and global influence that made each piece a sight to behold.
In addition to his work in furniture and lighting, Emile Gallé also created a wide variety of decorative objects. Some of these prized pieces include vases, tableware, and jewelry. He became well known for his everlasting commitment to creating beautiful, functional pieces.
