NOTICE
Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, French master glassmaker of the Art Deco period, is renowned for his creations in pâte de verre, where he combines technique and aesthetics to produce works of great elegance. Embodying the spirit of Art Deco, his lamps are crafted with meticulous attention to detail and color, exploiting the translucency of pâte de verre to create unique effects of light and texture. Argy-Rousseau is often inspired by floral, animal and geometric motifs, bringing a refined, poetic charm to her work.
Gabriel Argy-Rousseau's lamps are distinguished by their subtle tones - shades of blue, green, pink and amber - which, when illuminated, create a soft, warm atmosphere. The complex and demanding technique of pâte de verre enables the creation of relief motifs, giving each lamp a sculptural dimension. This technical and artistic mastery lends its lamps a timeless elegance, where each piece becomes a functional work of art.
Associated with the greatest names in Art Deco glassmaking, such as René Lalique and Dome Daum, Argy-Rousseau has distinguished itself through its unique approach to pâte de verre, contributing to the rise of this technique in interior design. Today, his lamps are highly prized for their beauty and artistic quality, testifying to the innovation and refinement of French glass in the early XXᵉ century.
