Antique Art Nouveau Daum Glass Vase with Carved Applied Roses, France, c.1910
Antique Art Nouveau Daum Glass Vase with Carved Applied Roses, France, c.1910

Antique Art Nouveau Daum Glass Vase with Carved Applied Roses, France, c.1910

By Daum

Located in Bochum, NRW

Daum Nancy Wheel‑Carved Cameo Glass Vase with Applied Roses, France, c.1910 An exquisite Daum Nancy cameo glass vase, crafted in white glass overlaid in soft green and finished with acid‑etched and wheel‑carved decoration. The surface reveals finely modelled botanical motifs, executed with the precision and layered depth characteristic of Daum’s early 20th‑century Art Nouveau production. The vase is further embellished with applied pink roses, each delicately engraved to enhance their sculptural realism. These hand‑formed floral elements - rare and technically demanding - demonstrate the maison’s mastery of cameo glass and its ability to merge engraving, acid work, and hot‑applied decoration into a single harmonious composition. Signed Daum Nancy with the Cross of Lorraine in cameo, the piece stands ~16 cm high, offering an intimate yet richly detailed example of the Lorraine workshop’s artistry. Its soft palette, tactile relief, and refined craftsmanship make it an exceptional decorative accent for collectors and interior designers seeking authentic French Art Nouveau glass. A beautifully preserved Art Nouveau cameo vase, distinguished by its rare applied floral work and the unmistakable elegance of Daum’s Lorraine...

Antique and Vintage Decorative Objects for Sale: Find Vases, Bowls, Boxes and Clocks on 1stDibs

Every time you move into a house or an apartment — or endeavor to refresh the home you’ve lived in for years — life for that space begins anew. The right home accent, be it the simple placement of a decorative bowl on a shelf or a ceramic vase for fresh flowers, can transform an area from drab to spectacular. But with so many materials and items to choose from, it’s easy to get lost in the process. The key to styling with antique and vintage decorative objects is to work toward making a happy home that best reflects your personal style. 

Ceramics are a versatile addition to any home. If you’ve amassed an assortment of functional pottery over the years, think of your mugs and salad bowls as decorative objects, ideal for displaying in a glass cabinet. Vintage ceramic serveware can pop along white open shelving in your dining area, while large stoneware pitchers paired with woven baskets or quilts in an open cupboard can introduce a rustic farmhouse-style element to your den.

Translucent decorative boxes or bowls made of an acrylic plastic called Lucite — a game changer in furniture that’s easy to clean and lasts long — are modern accents that are neutral enough to dress up a coffee table or desktop without cluttering it. If you’re showcasing pieces from the past, a vintage jewelry box for displaying your treasures can spark conversation: Where is the jewelry box from? Is there a story behind it?

Abstract sculptures or an antique vessel for your home library can draw attention to your book collection and add narrative charm to the most appropriate of corners.
