Description:
Woodbridge, Suffolk: Antique Collectors' Club, 2014. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dust-wrapper.

Physical description; 239 pages: chiefly illustrations (chiefly colour), portraits (black and white), decorated end-papers; 31 cm. Summary; Although renowned for his work as a verrier, lamps did not form a significant part of Galle's repertoire in glass until immediately prior to 1900. Indeed, only in the last few years of his life does it appear that he realised the full aesthetic potential of opalescent glass viewed by transmitted light. In an Art Nouveau context, Galle's creations reached their apogee between 1900 and his death in 1904, a brief period during which he adapted the shape of much of his glassware to its theme.

Description:
Suffolk, UK / New York: Antique Collector's Club, 2012. Hardcover. New/Sealed. brown cloth boards. 368 pgs w/ bw & color illustrations. grey, pictorial dustjacket.
