Background note : For collectors, Daum is a name in the first rank of the French makers of art glass, along with those of mile Gall & Ren Lalique. Led in its early decades by the brothers Auguste (1853-1909) & Antonin Daum (1864-1931), the company, based in the city of Nancy, established its reputation in the Art Nouveau period, & later successfully adopted the Art Deco style.In 1878, lawyer Jean Daum took over the ownership of a glassworks as payment for a debt & installed his sons as proprietors. Initially, Daum made glass for everyday purposes such as windows, watches & tableware, but the success that Gall enjoyed at the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris the international showcase for which the Eiffel Tower was built inspired the Daum brothers to begin making art-glass pieces. They produced popular works of cameo glass, a decorative technique in which an outer layer of glass is acid-etched or carved off to reveal the layer below, but Daum became best known for vessels & sculptures in pte de verre a painstaking method in which finely ground colored glass is mixed with a binder, placed in a mold & then fired in a kiln. Though early Daum glass was never signed by individual artists, the firm employed some of the masters of the naturalistic, asymmetrical Art Nouveau style, including Jacques Grber, Henri Berg & Amalric Walter (whose first name is frequently misspelled). Daum also collaborated with furniture & metalware designer Louis Majorelle, who created wrought-iron & brass mounts for vases & table lamps.
