Re: Emile Galle Stained Glass Dragonfly Table lamp
I'd say it's a fairly modern fake, Galle never made a lamp that looked anything like it. There is a pile of Fake galle pieces all over the market, made in eastern europe and china.
Re: Emile Galle Stained Glass Dragonfly Table lamp
Actually Galle DID work in stained glass early in his career and did in fact make lamps such as the one above. I have one that was appraised by Sotheby's 20 years ago. Value was at that time between 40 and 60 thousand.
The one above does look like a nice reproduction though as it does not care the patina that one should show nor does it have the intricate metal work of his very early pieces.
