There is no doubt that the French are the last word in elegant, sophisticated glassmanship.  French art glass of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco eras combines their  love of glass with their love of nature and results in delightfully extraordinary design that will continue to be passed down as heirlooms and antiques for centuries to come.

French art glass includes a plethora of flowers, fruit, human and animal figures, and sometimes enchanted glass landscapes, as well. Run your hands over one of these antique pieces and you will feel the sheer tactile delight of varied layers of textured glass and finish techniques that are equalled only by the visual beauty of the piece. Finally, our sensual pleasure is matched by the intellectual understanding of what has been accomplished here - the amazingly complicated techniques and mastery thereof, the superb accomplishments of master glass craftsmen such as Emile Galle, Rene Lalique, Legras, Schneider, Baccarat and Daum Nancy. Carved layers of cameo glass, finest crystal, French art glass is luxurious and sensuous and deeply satisfying on every level.
