Art Déco "Mushroom" Table Lamp
Art Deco "Mushroom" Table Lamp – France, circa 1925
This original pair of table lamps by Muller Frères embodies the French Art Deco movement at its finest, demonstrating the harmonious blend of artistic craftsmanship and elegant design from the late 1920s to early 1930s.
The delicate wrought iron frames feature decorative scrolls, while the satin-finished, conical glass shades with vertical relief create a soft, diffused light. The interplay of robust wrought iron and delicate glass underscores the manufacturer's signature style.
Signature: Each lamp is signed "Muller Frères – Lunéville" on the glass rim, confirming its authenticity and historical value.
About the manufacturer: Muller Frères Lunéville
The brothers Henri, Désiré, Eugène, and Victor Muller founded a glass decoration workshop in Lunéville in 1895, inspired by the "École de Nancy." They had previously worked under Émile Gallé and refined their techniques of glass engraving and decoration.
In the 1920s and 1930s, they specialized in lamps and lighting in the Art Deco style. Production continued until 1936. With their innovative glasswork and lighting, the Muller Frères were among the leading representatives of French glass art, alongside Daum and Schneider. Their designs were exhibited internationally and remain highly prized collector's items.
