Val Saint Lambert “Roselle” Luxval Art Deco Plate Belgium, ca. 1935 An exquisite example of Belgian Art Deco design, this pressed glass plate belongs to the celebrated Luxval collection by Val Saint Lambert. Model “Roselle,” documented in both the Moulures Fantaisies and 1935 Luxval catalogues, features a refined swirl motif around the border and a gently scalloped rim that catches the light beautifully. Produced in a rare shade of lavender-blue glass, this piece stands out not only for its elegant proportions but also for its highly collectible color. Blue and violet tones were manufactured in far smaller quantities by Val Saint Lambert, making them especially prized among collectors today. With its graphic Art Deco relief and architectural balance, the “Roselle” plate complements both modern and classical interiors, and is equally at home in a curated display or a refined tablescape. Stamped on the underside with the VAL ST LAMBERT BELGIQUE circular mark. Val Saint Lambert, nestled in Seraing near Liège, Belgium, is a beacon of crystal craftsmanship with a legacy spanning nearly two centuries. Established in 1826 by chemist François Kemlin and engineer Auguste Lelièvre, the company transformed the remnants of the Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey into a thriving glassworks. The 19th century marked a period of significant growth for Val Saint Lambert. By the early 1900s, the company employed over 5,000 workers, producing 120,000 pieces of glass daily. Their creations, renowned for exceptional quality and intricate designs, found admirers worldwide, including in Tsarist Russia and North America. A testament to their artistry is the “Vase of the Nine Provinces,” a monumental piece over 2 meters tall and weighing 200 kilograms, crafted for the 1894 World Exhibition in Antwerp. The 20th century brought challenges, including the impacts of two World Wars and economic downturns. Despite these obstacles, Val Saint Lambert’s resilience ensured the preservation of its artisanal heritage. Today, the company seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, producing exquisite crystal pieces that cater to modern aesthetics. Val Saint Lambert stands as a symbol of Belgian craftsmanship, where each piece reflects a harmonious blend of history, artistry, and innovation. Will be well packaged, protected and insured
