About the Item

A stunning small Saint Louis two colour glass cameo vase in an unusual colourway of brown over yellow - that looks great in sunlight - It is signed D'Argental in cameo (see image) and was made by Paul Nicolas dating to around 1920. It is part of his rare and important castles series. Three castle are visible on a ridge with a small village, meadows and a river below. As with the best examples this is clearly marked in cameo 'Les Trois Chateaux Eguisheim' -see images. They are a famous group of French castles still existing today (we have added a picture of them now -taken from a similar angle) Nicolas' Castle vases are rare and possibly his most important series Paul Nicolas -one time apprentice and ultimately Chief Designer at Emile Galle (until 1919) - left employment there and went to work for St Louis taking a small team of workers to make the D'Argental cameo range. These vases were unusually made of Crystal rather than the Demi-Crystal employed by Galle helping make the fine detail in their vases of exceptionally high quality

Monumental D’Argental Paul Nicolas Cameo Landscape Vase

Monumental D’Argental Paul Nicolas Cameo Landscape Vase

By D’argental glass

Located in Dallas, TX

This vase is meant to be seen in a Museum by tens of thousands of people! Definitely done by the hands of Paul Nicolas in his D’Argental Studio, circa 1920 as a class Art Nouveau - Art Deco transition landscape piece. Two oval framed beautifully acid etched cameo scenes of mountains. Lakes and trees make this vase timeless rare and very important as possibly no other ones exist! The principal blue color permeates through the clouds, the snow and the icy lake waters. Browns and purples make up the mountains and trees. The geometric dragonfly carved and acid etched sides show the transition period. Paul Nicolas was definitely showing with former boss; Emile Galle, with this piece that he was attempting to surpass the Daum...
