Galle Cameo Glass Table Lamps

Antique Cameos — Sat, 16 Jun 2018 06:50:46 +0000

Price guide to antique and vintage Galle cameo glass table lamps. Émile Gallé was a French artist who worked in glass, and is considered to be one of the major forces in the French Art Nouveau movement.

Cameo glass is a luxury form of glass art produced by etching and carving through fused layers of differently colored glass to produce designs, usually with white opaque glass figures and motifs on a dark-colored background. The technique is first seen in ancient Roman art of about 30 BC, where it was an alternative to the luxury engraved gem vessels in cameo style that used naturally layered semi-precious gemstones such as onyx and agate. Glass allowed consistent and predictable colored layers, even for round objects.

From the mid-19th century there was a revival of cameo glass, suited equally to Neo-Grec taste and the French Art Nouveau practiced by Émile Gallé, and cameo glass is still produced today. Reference: Wikipedia
