Orchids of Lotarigne...
The art of Emile Gallet and the Daums Brothers

The exhibition is devoted to one of the most interesting periods in the history of the European art glass of the late XIX - early XX century. The works produced by the company of Emile Gallet and the Daums Brothers introduce the viewer into the atmosphere of the refined moderne style. The vases made of multi-layer glass with relief flowers used to decorate in the beginning of our century nearly every home which was striving to look stylish and modern. Many of the samples displayed come from the apartments of Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna. Two splendid coupled vases decorated with pink orchids were officially presented to Nicholas II and his wife by Lotarigne.
