Daum Crystal - France

Daum was founded in Nancy in 1887, opened its Art Department in 1891 and won renown for its Art Nouveau creations. After taking part in the 1900 Universal Exhibition, Daum joined forces with Galle and founded the Ecole de Nancy (School of Nancy). It was not until 1950 that Jacques Daum decided to use crystal, which is glass with a 24% lead content, causing the pâte de verre to take on the brilliance and relief for which it is know today. Indeed, it is actually "pâte de cristal."

The artisans at Daum are able to capture both fine details and subtle contouring, and each glass sculpture will radiate with light and color, making it a beautiful addition to any home, and the perfect gift.

Each Daum Crystal art work creation is signed with "Daum France" and numbered by hand. No two Daum crystals are exactly alike.
