Subject: Valuation & Consignment Inquiry: Large Art Nouveau Cameo Glass Wisteria Vase by Émile Gallé, 47 cm
Dear Fine Art / Decorative Arts Department,
I would like to submit a significant and large Art Nouveau cameo glass vase for your expert valuation and potential consignment.
Item Description:
* Manufacturer: Gallé (Nancy, France)
* Artist: Émile Gallé (School of Nancy)
* Date of Production: Circa 1900–1920 (Art Nouveau period)
* Technique: Multi-layered cameo glass (pâte de verre), acid-etched with botanical relief decor.
* Subject / Pattern: "Les Glycines" (Wisteria flowers and cascading foliage).
* Color Palette: Deep purple / aubergine design overlaid onto a frosted milky-white and soft amber background.
* Dimensions: Height is 47 cm (classified as a large floor / monumental vase).
Marks and Signatures:
The vase features an authentic raised cameo signature "Gallé" integrated into the acid-etched design near the lower section of the body.
Condition Report:
The vase is in excellent antique condition with no structural cracks, chips, or modern restorations. The upper rim (lip) and the base are smooth and fully intact, retaining their original factory edges. The acid-etched relief exhibits sharp details and distinct color layers.
Market Context / Price Reference:
As a monumental 47 cm floor vase, this piece belongs to the highly sought-after tier of Émile Gallé’s larger botanical works. For comparison, while standard 35 cm intermediate models commands around €2,100 on platforms like Proantic [1.1], true floor-sized variants and large tapered shapes of this scale (45–50 cm) frequently reach premium estimates ranging from €3,500 to over €6,000 at specialized Art Nouveau auctions and major international design venues like Bonhams [1.12] and 1stDibs [1.20].
I have attached high-resolution photographs showing the full view of the vase next to a measuring tape for precise scale verification (confirming the 47 cm height), alongside detailed views of the botanical pattern and the signature.
Given its rare monumental size and pristine condition, I would be grateful to receive your auction estimate and details regarding consignment opportunities for your upcoming early 20th-century decorative arts sales.
Thank you for your time and expertise. I look forward to your response.
