About the Item

This stunning crystal car paperweight or decorative sculpture is by Daum, France, and was hand-made in the 1980s. The design is from artist and sculptor Xavier Froissart, and this model, named "Marly," was released in 1987. The sculpture features a detailed relief of a robust limousine car. This piece is a tribute to cinema, sedans full of suspense and intrigue. The paperweight is signed on the underside with the Daum acid-etched "Flower + Nancy" mark*. Dimensions: 9.07 in wide (23 cm) by 1.57 in deep (4 cm) by 2.94 in high (7.5 cm). Reference: Only 1210 pieces of the Marly model were produced by Daum. *The Daum mark, which featured a stylized flower and "Nancy," was reserved for artworks sold at the Daum factory in Nancy. This stamp corresponds to the marking for the period from the 1960s to 2000. In 2000, a similar stamp design was used, but it contained the year (2001, 2002, etc.) as part of the design. Considered factory seconds, these pieces were only sold in the factory store or to Daum employees and local Nancy residents once a year during an exceptional private sale held within the factory premises. Typically, our factory 2nds have some minor imperfections compared to the original piece and may or may not be fully finished. Imperfections may include internal bubbles, minor distortions, misaligned exterior icing, and other similar issues. These pieces may also have a missing finish. Pieces with serious flaws are directly discarded and never marketed as factory seconds. The official factory 2nds are not signs with the classic Daum markings but rather engraved with this design. Most of the time, it is impossible for a novice to identify the imperfection that motivated the decision to sell the piece in the factory store rather than through the traditional sales channel.
