L. Bessin and Daum Nancy Art Nouveau Lamp

About the Item

Art Nouveau lamp circa 1900. Patinated regula representing a nymph, signed L. Bessin for Paul Lucien Bessin. Glass paste tulip signed Daum Nancy. Electrified and in perfect condition. Total height: 34 cm Width: 17cm Depth: 29cm Weight: 2 Kg Daum (French establishment created in 1878) is a glass and crystal workshop located in Nancy. Founded by the industrialist and notary Jean Daum, the workshop was then taken over by his sons Auguste and Antonin, who managed it during the Art Nouveau period. It was only from the Universal Exhibition of 1900 that the company placed itself at the forefront of decorative art, when Daum received the prestigious Grand Prix medal. At this time, Daum glass becomes more complex, acid treatment is often used in cutting, glazing and engraving a piece to produce glass masterpieces. Daum also makes applied glass elements, such as handles and ornamental designs in naturalistic shapes. The Daum brothers quickly became big names in Art Nouveau, rivaling the famous designer Émile Gallé, and established themselves as leaders in the field of decorative glass after his death. In 1906, Daum revived glass paste, a process by which glass is transformed into paste, then it is applied to the surface of a mold and fired. This technique has its origins in ancient Egypt. Today, Daum is the only industrial crystal manufacturer that uses the glass paste process for its glass objects and crystal sculptures. Following the First World War, Paul Daum began to develop works in the Art Deco style, moving away from naturalistic forms and turning towards linear, angular, simplified forms and geometric patterns characteristic of movement. After the Second World War, Henri and Michel Daum became interested in the transparency of glass and pure lines. Daum collaborates with a large number of famous artists, such as Louis Majorelle, Salvador Dalí, Hilton Mac Connico, Elizabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti to create objects in glass paste. BESSIN Paul Lucien (1911-1953) French sculptor. Paul Bessin is known for Painting and sculpture.

  • Art Nouveau Lamp by Victor Saglier and Daum Nancy
    By Victor Saglier, Daum
    Located in NANTES, FR
    Gilt bronze lamp around 1900, probably by Majorelle executed by Victor Saglier. Stamped on the foot VS. Glass paste tulip signed Daum Nancy. Lamp electrified and in perfect condition. Total height: 38.5 cm - 15.15 in width: 15cm depth: 13cm weight: 2.3kg Victor Saglier (1809 - 1894) Victor Saglier is a ceramist and goldsmith known in particular for his creations in the Art Nouveau style of the late 19th century. He produces, among other things, objects in enamelled glass, gilded metal and numerous pieces of silverware. On his death, the company was bought by his brothers who continued production until 1948. Victor Saglier's objects are signed by the "VS" brand. Known for his Art Nouveau work, Saglier made several pieces for Louis Majorelle, Daum and Émile Gallé. Its style is typically French Art Nouveau in the language of the École de Nancy. He often drew inspiration from nature for his work, the logic of which helped design both forms and settings. The sign of master goldsmith Victor Saglier is an oval-shaped three-master sailboat surrounded by the letters V and S in a rectangle. Saglier made everyday objects such as glass vases, bowls and pitchers with metal mounts, planters, tea and coffee services and candlesticks in bronze or silver-yellow metal or cast zinc. On his death, the Victor Saglier company at 12 rue d'Enghien in Paris became Saglier Frères. It was run by his brothers Eugène and André until his death in 1948. Daum (French establishment created in 1878) is a glass and crystal workshop located in Nancy. Founded by the industrialist and notary Jean Daum, the workshop was then taken over by his sons Auguste and Antonin, who ran it during the Art Nouveau period. It was not until the Universal Exhibition of 1900 that the company was at the forefront of the decorative art scene, when Daum received the prestigious Grand Prix medal. At this time, Daum glass became more complex, acid treatment was often used in the cutting, enameling and etching of a piece to produce glass masterpieces.
