Description
Emile Gallé's manufactory was famous for producing the highest quality furniture and glassware. However, before Gallé began creating his famous furniture and glass objects, he was involved in the design of faience works, first at the Saint-Clement manufactory and later at his own. Emile Gallé loved walking in the wild forests, he also had his own small botanical garden, and above the door of his studio he hung a sign: "Our roots are deep in the forest - on the banks of streams and among the moss".
