Antique vase "Galle" with floral ornaments. Laminated glass etching. France, XIX century.

In 1846, the artist Emile Galle was born in the French city of Nancy, whose name has become synonymous with Art Nouveau. At 28, he headed the family business for the production of art glass, and at 46, he opened his own workshop, where he began to manufacture furniture. But for most customers, he was remembered for his work in laminated glass, decorated with images of flowers and plants.

The beauty of performance will not leave anyone indifferent.
