Description:
This is an absolutely rare and exciting find – it is an Art Nouveau French hanging chandelier. If I didn’t tell you that every piece was signed Muller Freres, you would swear it was Lalique. The work is totally superior.Luneville France was the location of the glassworks founded by the brothers,Henri & Desire Muller in 1910.Their firm produced a wide range of acid etched cameo & other fine glass until the out break of World War II in Europe. It has a wonderful silver frame with an ornate four chain suspension and canopy. Each panel of the wonderful, I’m going to call it camphor glass – or frosted glass, has the depth and richness of superior French quality. It feels like silk when you run your hand across it. Again every single glass panel and shade as well as the frame is signed Muller Freres Luneville. Now for the bad news – one of the electric hanging shades has a crack in it. The crack goes from the base of the shade mid way up on the edge seem. It cannot be seen what so ever – even if I pointed it out to you, you wouldn’t be able to see it. But never the less it is there, it is fixed and it will not run further, split, or fall apart. The overall surface patina on the silvered metal is very rich and mellow! It just reminds me of jewelry when I look at it. We have recently rewired this chandelier and it is ready to install. I wanted to mention also that inside the frame is also marked Muller Freres Luneville. Spectacular French art glass art nouveau chandelier – one that is not common to find! The chandelier is 26” square overall x approx 32” high to the top of the canopy.
