Highlighted Artist Charles Schneider 1881 - 1953 ~ collection Anktique Ernest and Charles Schneider grew up in Nancy. In 1903 Ernest Schneider (1877-1937) was hired by the sales director of the Daum frères factory. He has his younger brother Charles, trained in sculpture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Nancy and then in Paris, to propose projects for vases and glass paste. This collaboration lasted until 1911. After worked in the Daum factory Ernest (1877–1937) and Charles Schneider (1881-1953) founded their own company, the Verreries Schneider, in Épinay-sur-Seine in 1913. The success of the company was confirmed after the end of hostilities in 1918 . It had up to five hundred employees in 1925 and sold its creations all over the world. Charles Schneider soon became the sole creator of the pieces. He gradually moved away from Art Nouveau and developed a very personal genre, characterized by bright, strong, contrasting colors and naturalistic and stylized patterns, which perfectly symbolized the Art Deco style of the interwar period. The company produces under two brands, Le Verre français and the Schneider line. It caused a sensation with its "butterfly" decoration created around 1925 depicting insects in red and blue colors on a cloudy azure background. She uses complex techniques such as shot glass. Some productions are signed with "Charder", the abbreviation of Charles Schneider. However , the glass market was severely affected by the Great Depression of 1929 and brought the Schneider brothers company out of business in 1938 . The Charder brand: Le Verre français was the largest glassworks in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. A great majority of his creations, very marked by the Nancy school, are thanks to Charles Schneider. The special and judicious combination of shapes, new and varied colors (yellow, mauve, tango-orange) and decorations make the creations of this artist exceptional pieces, which are very popular today. Jewelery cups and black foot cups are the hallmarks of the brand. Colored glass powders melted between two or more layers of transparent glass made it possible to obtain an endless variety of colored patterns. From 1926 to 1932, Le Verre français took legal action for plagiarism against the Verrerie d'Art Degué company in Paris, owned by the famous glass artist and industrialist David Guéron. The latter eventually loses the lawsuit that nearly cost their existence to the two rival companies. The names of the Art Nouveau or Art Deco glassworks were out of fashion and aroused renewed interest in the 1960s, first with Daum, Lalique and Émile Gallé, more in the 1980s with Schneider. |
