Édouard Müller (1823–1876) was a French painter and decorative artist renowned for his contributions to 19th-century ornamental and botanical design. He worked extensively with porcelain manufacturers and interior decorators, creating floral and garden-themed compositions that combined meticulous realism with a sense of elegance and refinement. Müller’s works exemplify the era’s fascination with nature as a symbol of beauty, order, and cultivated taste.
