Description from the seller
DAUM NANCY – Liqueur service / glasses and carafe
Blown glass, smoky tint signed Daum-Nancy, Art Nouveau period, Nancy School
Nancy School – Early 20th century
Rare and elegant glass liquor service, including a central carafe and six matching glasses, made by the prestigious house Daum Nancy, a leading 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 and sculptural volumes of the carafe, creating a set that is at once sober and refined.
The carafe, with its curvaceous body and architected form, demonstrates exceptional glassmaking mastery, while the glasses show a perfect balance between decorative elegance and functionality. The entire set is signed Daum Nancy, guaranteeing its authenticity and its link to one of the most important French artistic glassworks.
This service perfectly illustrates the aesthetics of the period, where the art of glassmaking serves daily life with a keen sense of form and light. It today constitutes a sought-after collectible piece, both for display cases and for high-level decorative presentation.
Composition:
– 1 carafe 25 cm high, 12 cm diameter
– 6 matching glasses 15.5 cm height, 6.5 cm diameter
- tray 27.5 cm diameter, 2.5 cm height
Condition: very good state of preservation, with light traces compatible with age, without major alteration.
Rare decorative object, ideal for Daum Nancy collectors, Art Nouveau enthusiasts, and French decorative arts lovers.
