Art Nouveau acid-etched cameo glass lamp base by Émile Gallé, Nancy, France, circa 1900, height 34 cm, base 16 cm, opening 5.7 cm, depicting a landscape of trees in silhouette against a sunset-toned sky, in good condition with small signs of ageing.
Description from the seller
Superb Art Nouveau cameo glass lamp base by Émile Gallé, one of the most important French glassmakers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The lamp base is executed in multilayered glass with rich acid-etched decoration, depicting a landscape with trees in silhouette against a sunset-toned sky. The colour palette shifts beautifully from deep brown at the foot to amber, yellow, and soft blue towards the neck, creating depth and atmosphere that intensify when illuminated.
This piece was conceived as the base of a lamp and would originally have been paired with a complementary shade. Gallé’s lamp bases are rarer than his vases and are highly sought after by collectors, combining both artistry and functional design.
