Lot Essay

Philippe-Joseph Brocard specialised in the production of imitations of Medieval and Islamic glass, gaining critical acclaim when first exhibited in 1867 at the Paris Exposition, and subsequently at the 1873 Vienna World's Fair and 1878 Paris exposition. In 1886 he was presented with a gold medal at the Exposition de l'Union Centrale, and five years later was awarded a patent for 'a new procedure for the application of enamels to glass and metal foil'.
