Description

Striking French D’Argental (ca. 1920) multi-layer acid-etched glass cameo vase decorated with cattleya orchids in shades of brown and red on a satin ochre background. Signed d'Argental with the cross of Lorraine in the decoration. 33.5cm tall x 10cm dia (base), 6cm (mouth). Weight 1.5kg. Comes with a box.

Mint condition. Confirmed as genuine by expert Mike Moir (www.manddmoirco.uk).

D'Argental vase were made by Paul Nicolas, who was Chief Designer at Gallé and later went on to make glass under his own name and for St Louis under the name D'Argental. D'Argental workmanship is consistently good and this vase is no exception, but D'Argental is not as well known as Gallé or Daum, so the prices are still quite reasonable.

FAQs

French cameo glass is a form of art glass developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, heavily associated with the Art Nouveau movement. It involves layering multiple colours of glass and etching or carving away portions to create a raised relief design.

These pieces are crafted from layered glass batches, often utilizing chemical acid-etching alongside manual wheel-carving to expose contrasting coloured strata within the glass body.

Authentic pieces typically feature distinct maker signatures etched directly into the glass, precise multi-tiered acid cutting with a matte texture, and weight characteristics consistent with early 20th-century glasshouse production.

Place the vessel on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard where natural light can pass through the translucent glass layers, highlighting the depth of the cameo relief.

Clean the glass gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive cloths, and keep it out of direct, prolonged sunlight to protect surface tones.
