PROVENANCE & CONTEXT
The Muller brothers established their glassworks in Lunéville, Lorraine, in 1895, becoming rivals to Gallé and Daum. Their Art Deco production from the 1920s-30s is highly collectible, particularly signed pieces in excellent condition.
The ginkgo biloba motif was emblematic of the Art Deco movement — representing endurance, beauty, and the fusion of nature with geometric design.
