Description from the seller
DAUM NANCY – Liqueur service / glasses and carafe
Blown glass, smoked tint signed Daum-Nancy, Art Nouveau period, Nancy School
Nancy School – Early 20th century
Rare and elegant liqueur set in glass, comprising a central carafe and six matching glasses, made by the prestigious Maison Daum Nancy, a major figure of the Nancy School and the French Art Nouveau movement.
The set stands out for the purity of its lines, the finesse of the blown glass, and its subtle smoky tint with amber reflections, characteristic of certain Daum productions from the early 20th century. The slender silhouettes of the glasses, with legs delicately stretched, harmonize with the generous, sculptural volumes of the carafe, creating a piece that is at once sober and refined.
The carafe, with a curved body and architectural shape, testifies to a high level of glassmaking mastery, while the glasses display a perfect balance between decorative elegance and functionality. The set is signed Daum Nancy, guaranteeing its authenticity and its connection to one of the most important French artistic glassworks.
This service perfectly illustrates the aesthetic of the period, where the art of glassmaking serves everyday life with a keen sense of form and light. Today it is a sought-after collectible piece, suitable for a display cabinet as well as for a high-level decorative presentation.
Composition:
– 1 carafe 25 cm high, 12 cm diameter
– 6 matched glasses 15.5 cm high, 6.5 cm diameter
– tray 27.5 cm diameter, 2.5 cm height
Condition: very good condition, with minor traces compatible with age, no major alterations.
Rare and decorative item, ideal for Daum Nancy collectors, enthusiasts of Art Nouveau and French decorative arts.
