Muller Frères
Muller Frères were French glass makers located in Lunéville, France. Their business ran from 1895 to 1933.
They were renowned for producing art nouveau and some art deco glassworks such as vases and lampshades.
The Muller family originally came from Alsace. Some members of the family worked together with Émile Gallé before starting their own business.
Muller Freres, French for Muller Brothers, made cameo and other glass from about 1895 to 1933. Their factory was first located in Luneville, then in nearby Croismare, France. After World War I, the company also made iron and glass chandeliers, vases and other decorative items. Pieces were usually marked with the company name.
Delatte
André Delattte himself was born in Châtenois, France, in 1887. He first founded his glass producing company in 1921, close to Nancy. He fabricated engraved glass objects of the kind which was also sold by Daum and Muller Frères. Delatte’s cameo vases and bolws incorporated two to three layers of glass, with motives made visible through acid and only little polishing was done afterwards. The designs were common to be solid and clean. Although the motives themselves were not innovative and mostly depicted landscapes and florals, they were attractive to the eye. The company was shut down in 1938, because of the financial crisis at the time.
