He enjoyed great renown thanks to his original creations of jewellery, perfume bottles, glasses, plates, etc., in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. He trained with the Parisian jeweller Louis Aucoq, and then continued his studies at Sudenham Art College in London. The excellence of his creations and the taste he applied to his work earned him important commissions for the interior decoration of ships, trains such as the Orient Express, churches such as Saint-Nicasius in Reims, and numerous religious and civil goldsmiths' works. Lalique was not content with simply designing his models, but also founded a factory to produce them in large quantities, patenting several innovative glass manufacturing processes, and various technical effects such as "Lalique satin" or opalescent glass. Pieces by Lalique are preserved in prominent museums such as the Corning Museum of Glass and the Metropolitan Museum of Glass in New York, the Louvre and the Orsay Museum in Paris, among many others.

The latter was associated with the Parisian Leblanc-Barbedienne establishments. During the Universal Exhibition of 1900, the press noticed an ornamental gilded bronze and marble fireplace designed by Clovis with the complicity of DenysPuech. At the 1907 Salon, Julien was awarded the prize of the Society of French Artists, category "engraving on medal and fine stone" and a medal in the decorative arts section. Clovis Viard is also known to have designed perfume bottles between 1900 and 1910, including the Rare de Caron.Around 1910, Julien turned away from bronze to work with glass and produced his first bottles, sometimes associated with Henri Hamm (1871-1961), from whom he would draw inspiration. Julien and his father then teamed up with Georges Viollet-le-Duc (1874-1951) to found around 1914 a glass manufacturing company in Montreuil-sous-Bois called "C. & J. Viard" which, slowed down by the war, became particularly active from 1918 onwards.Viard designed models to be blown or moulded, then had them cast en masse by glassworks such as Baccarat or larger producers such as Dépinoix or the Société parisienne de verreries. Viard generally took care of the finishing touches. Julien Viard also worked in collaboration with Lucien Gaillard and Lalique.Until his father's death in 1927, Julien Viard produced a large number of models of bottles, boxes and glass objects, mainly for French but also American perfume houses.

ÉMILE GALLÉ (Nancy, France, 1846 - 1904).Perfumer-atomizer, Art Nouveau, ca.1910.Cameo glass.Signed on the side.Provenance: Spanish private collection, formed between 1970 and 1995.Measurements: 17 x 8.5 x 6 cm (glass); 22 cm (total with atomiser).Art Nouveau perfume atomiser designed by Emile Gallé in orange and red cameo glass, acid-etched with floral decoration.Undoubtedly, Emile Gallé was a man totally representative of his time. He was a poet, an artist par excellence, capable of translating his emotions and desires into matter, someone who found in the alchemy of glass, in its light, in its nuances, a form of language. Because of this talent and his mastery, his glassworks became the most famous in France around 1900.Émile Gallé began his career working for his father, who owned a glass and ceramics factory, producing designs with floral and heraldic motifs. Very interested in botany, he studied it in depth during his youth, alternating with drawing classes. Between 1862 and 1864, at his father's request, he travelled around Italy, England and Germany, taking an interest in the applied arts but also in subjects that he would later reflect in his works, such as music, philosophy and nature. On his return he settled in Meisenthal, where his family's glass furnaces were located, in order to fully learn the craft of glassmaking. He also travelled to London and Paris to see the collections of their museums. In 1874 he took over his father's factory and soon achieved great international success, winning prizes at international exhibitions and selling his works to important collections and museums. In 1878 he presented his first creations at the Universal Exhibition in Paris, many of which were inspired by the Japanese artists Hokusai (1760-1849) and Hokkei (1780-1856). In this important exhibition, Gallé discovered three techniques that were to prove decisive for his production: the remarques of the Pantin glassworks, the cameo engraved glass of the English (inspired by the Portland Glass in the British Museum) and the superimposition of layers of different coloured glass presented by Eugène Rousseau. He was the founder and president of the Nancy School, whose principles he always followed. He introduced all kinds of experimental and innovative techniques into his works, as well as some traditional ones. One of these was the introduction of metal sheets between the different layers of glass, thus enhancing the magical effect of his most exclusive pieces. As far as possible, Gallé imposed the characteristics of a style that evolved into free and refined expressions, applying an enormous variety of themes and decorative techniques on opaque and coloured glass, which continue to amaze to this day. Today, pieces by Émile Gallé can be seen in the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Brohan Museum in Berlin and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among many others.

Foot and stopper in silver. Engraved initialsThe Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900 took place from 15 April to 12 November 1900 in Paris. It covered an area of 120 hectares and was visited by more than 50 million people from 58 countries. The Orsay Station (now the Musée d'Orsay), the Petit Palais, the Grand Palais and the Pont Alexandre III were built to celebrate the Universal Exhibition. The 1900 Exposition was the largest to date, for which the Parisian government began preparations in the city as early as 1892, culminating in a logistically larger event than had been planned in the first place. The call for the design of the main attractions was transformed into a collaboration between designers and architects, who together managed to realise the most visited constructions of the Fair. The Porte Monumentale: also known as the Salamandre, it was located at the eastern entrance to the Fair, in the Place de La Concorde; the gate was crowned by the statue La Parisienne, designed by the sculptor Moreau-Vauthier.

Metal mouthpieces and bases, decorated with inlaid glass stones, chiselled ornaments and enamels.Bohemian glass is the name given to glass made in the regions of Bohemia and Silesia, in the territory of what are now the Czech Republic and Poland. Bohemian glass was first produced at the end of the 13th century, but did not achieve great popularity until the end of the 16th century. For the next two centuries, Bohemia enjoyed complete European hegemony in this type of industry. Its speciality consisted in the extreme transparency of the glass, imitating rock crystal, and in the deep and perfect engraving or carving applied in hollow or in relief to the best pieces.
