AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

DAUM – Monumental centerpiece

Crystal-clear, hand-blown and hot-worked glass
France, 20th century. A heavy and outsized object for shipping.

Exceptional monumental crystal centerpiece, created by the prestigious Daum house, emblem of French glassmaking know-how and mastery of crystal work in the 20th century.

This piece stands out for its spectacular dimensions — 63 cm in length, 21 cm in width and 25 cm in height — giving it a sculptural presence and immediate visual impact. Its broadly spread form, with stretched and undulating edges, evokes a fluid and organic movement, almost winged, characteristic of Daum’s monumental creations.

The crystal, perfectly transparent and of great purity, is worked with remarkable virtuosity: folds, ribs and tensions of material structure the piece and catch the light, generating subtle plays of reflections and depth. The central base, denser and more architectural, ensures perfect balance while accentuating the piece’s dynamic momentum.

Signed Daum, this centerpiece sits at the border between decorative object and true crystal sculpture. By its size and elegance, it is suited for a large reception table, a central console, or gallery display.

Condition: excellent state of preservation, with no chips or cracks, and only very light signs compatible with age and handling.

Spectacular and rare work, ideal for Daum collectors, lovers of monumental crystal pieces, or interiors seeking a strong, luminous and architectural creation. Micro-scratches present on the piece but nothing that could affect the decorative value of this magnificent centerpiece.
