Product description
This exquisite Art Deco bowl is part of the renowned Luxval collection, known for its elegant geometric forms and refined craftsmanship.
Featuring striking angular handles and a gracefully curved body, this piece exemplifies the bold yet sophisticated aesthetic of the early 20th century. The clear crystal allows light to pass through beautifully, emphasizing the bowl's intricate contours and timeless charm.
What makes this piece truly exceptional is its rare gold decoration, which has remarkably survived for almost 100 years. Due to the delicate nature of gilding on glass, most similar pieces have lost their gold accents over time, making this bowl a rare and coveted find among collectors. The gold detailing along the edges was meticulously applied, adding a touch of opulence and refinement to an already stunning design. The gold embellishment does more than just add luxury—it interacts with light in a fascinating way.
Under certain angles, the gilded edges reflect a warm golden hue onto the crystal, creating a dynamic and ever-changing visual effect. This subtle yet mesmerizing glow enhances the depth and brilliance of the piece, making it a true statement object for any collector or lover of Art Deco glassware.
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.
