| Gallery label | This shape was also produced as a vase - see the example in the city museum, Place Stanislas, Nancy. Around 1900, Daum Frères were central to the École de Nancy, the group of glassmakers, furniture makers, architects and designers of whom perhaps the most celebrated was Emile Gallé. By 1925, Daum Fréres had moved on from their own distinctive art nouveau style to a highly polished commercial line in cast, chunkily modelled glass in the taste of the mid and later twenties. Louis Majorelle, furniture designer and the maker of the bronze mounmt also collaborated with the glass maker Argy-Rousseau. |
