The surname Müller (nine brothers and one sister) comes from Calhausen on the Moselle.Since 1885, Müller’s two older brothers, Desiree and Eugene, masters of glass carving and engraving, began working at the oldest French factory in St. Louis, in the workshop of E. Galle in Nancy. A little later, younger brothers join them - Victor, Pierre and Henry.

By 1895, Henri opened his own glass art workshop in Luneville. And already in 1898, the brothers who had left Halle and the younger sister joined Henry, taking control of the family business into their own hands, and the company was named the “Muller and Co. Brothers”.

Muller artisans are committed followers of E. Halle's methods of working with laminated glass. Throughout the existence of the company in the process of processing products, they try to multiply the number of superimposed layers of glass (when blowing, about seven colored layers were often used, followed by various decorations). The factory’s products have always been distinguished by high technological effectiveness and a variety of art processing techniques. For this reason, the Mueller masters are still unsurpassed in this technique.

The greatest success of the company br. Muller falls on the 1920s - early 1930s. Her products were presented at Nancy's stores, as well as in Paris.
