AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

DAUM – Monumental centerpiece

Crystal crystal clear blown and hot-formed
France, 20th century. A heavy and outsized item for shipment.

Exceptional monumental centerpiece in crystal, crafted by the prestigious Daum house, emblem of French glassmaking expertise and mastery of crystal work in the 20th century.

This piece is distinguished by its spectacular dimensions — 63 cm in length, 21 cm in width, and 25 cm in height — giving it a bold sculptural presence and immediate visual impact. Its broadly spread form, with stretched and undulating edges, evokes a fluid, organic movement, almost wing-like, 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 capture light, creating 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 boundary 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 conservation, with no chips or cracks, and only very light traces compatible with age and handling.

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