Attributed to Daum Nancy Glass Daum is the name of a factory established in 1875 in the city of Nancy, France. When the notary Jean Daum became the owner of an industrial furnace, that of Nancy Glass, to expropriate the owners who were heavily indebted to him and was not able to return the money to cover the liabilities of management. So the company was launched with the aim of both renewable and guide it through changes in period, style and taste. The eldest son Auguste, despite having studied law, became director of the factory, which for the moment out glasses, jugs, glass commonly used low-quality glass for watches. The first thing I did was start producing table glassware of good quality and then in a second phase, around 1890, he formed an art department under the direction of his brother Antonin. At that time did not establish any particular innovation in style, but had a great influence of his friend, neighbor and professor Emile Galle. At the beginning of the last decade of last century, the glass gradually begins to lose transparency, the decor is based solely on flowers, plants and animals, and parts enriquecencon metal elements. Colors were used in two or three layers, in which, by the technique of carving, was carved decoration. The decor-interleaved, is situated within the genre of the search for perspective. Patented in June 1899, is to perform a piece with several layers, of which the interior is decorated (to the tooth, the enamel and acid), and then reheated to 1000 BC and covered with another layer. The colors stood out to be more blurred and less distinct lines, which gives the interior a more pleasing and unobtrusive. At the Universal Exhibition of Paris of 1900, presented 38 pieces made by this technique, the success was brilliant and they were awarded Daum do the Grand Prix, as well as Galle. From the beginning of the century it shows a dedication to progressive non-figurative decoration, based on the color scheme. In 1908 an exhibition was presented at the first pitcher in the series known for jade céramique, in which the piece, performed with the technique of vitrification of powder, was coated on a transparent glass layer. By 1906 Antonin Daum began to present its first pallet verre (glass paste) made by Walter Almric. Each artist had a proprietary formula for the preparation of the glass portion, of course secret, which explains the enormous difference in the results. With glass pastes for expanded collaboration with Daum Majorelle, which even it was given a small plate for incorporation into the furniture. The collaboration continued growing profitably, even in the field of lamp production. The Nancy Glass had already been affirmed important developments and could pick up hard-won success. But not for long, since the explosion of the first world war forced the closure of the furnaces, when they were reopened at the end of the conflict, the world and taste had changed profoundly. Attributed to Louis majorelle Louis Majorelle French cabinetmaker and decorator, a leading member of the "Nancy School" founded by Emile Galle in 1901. Son of Auguste Majorelle, a specialist in eighteenth-century reproductions, studied painting at the School of Fine Arts in Paris under the direction of Jean-Françoise Millet. On the death of his father, back to Nancy to take over the family business. By 1890, he left the reproductions and influenced by Gallé start creating Art Nouveau furniture. Majorelle furniture had, less naturalistic features than those of Gallé, abstract drawings often proposed, and combined with walnut ¬ ras made exotic mahogany, tamarind in linear strips or boxes that were undulating contours, also used metal applications in contrast wise perfectly smooth surfaces and dense simi ¬ lar to marbled waves and waters in ¬ creped on which appeared the two butterflies fluttering dragonflies-arranged with locks.

In the 1880 – 1940 there was a grate wave of immigration encouraged by the periods of war that were taking place. 1st World War took place between 1914 and 1918 2nd World War took place between 1939 and 1945 The immigrants options were New York or Buenos Aires. Tickets were cheap and in Buenos Aires they were welcomed with open arms, as it was a country where everything was still to be done. Argentina was the country of new opportunities, labour was needed and religious freedom was assured, in many cases the of the family travel first until they were settled and then the rest of the family members join them. In the immigrant museum “Ellis Island Immigrant Building” in New York you can se the promotional posters of the boats that would take them to a new life. Between the years 1895 and 1896, Argentina had the highest DGP (gross domestic product) per capita in the world according to the Maddison Historical Statistics index, this situation arose due to the large amount of food being exported to European countries, which were at war. The Argentinean ships left the port of Buenos Aires with food, but they returned with furniture, clothes and construction elements, (it´s common to see this the old buildings of the historic neighbourhood of San Telmo, the beams with the inscription “Made in England)”, as well as many markets that were built in Buenos Aires, such us the San Telmo Market, whose structure was brought by ship and afterwards assembled in 900 Defensa Street. With the great influence of European immigrants living in the country, the children of the upper classes travelled to study in France, resulting in the inauguration of “La Maison Argentinienne”, on 27th of June 1928, in the international city of Paris, which hosted many Argentinians that were studying in Frace. It´s the fourth house to be built after France, Canada and Belgium, being the first Spanish-speaking one. Still in place today (17 Bd Jourdan, 75014, Paris, France). Many of the children of these wealthy families who attended international art exhibitions, museums and art courses abroad, took a keen interest in the European style. This is why Buenos Aires was at the time referred as “The Paris of South America”. Between the years 1890 and 1920 more than a hundred Palaces were built on Alvear Avenue the most exclusive avenue in Buenos Aires. Today some of these palaces have been transformed into museums, hotels and embassies. In the year 1936, the Kavanagh building was inaugurated, it was the tallest reinforced concrete building in South America. During 1994 the American Society of Civil Engineers distinguished it as an “international engineering milestone”, and it´s now considered a World Heritage of Modern Architecture. At the time was common to hire foreign architects such as Le Corbusier, who visited Buenos Aires/Argentina in 1929 and in 1948 he drew up the blueprints for a house built in La Plata City (which was declared a World Heritage Site). In 1947, the Hungarian architect Marcelo Breuer designed “Parador Ariston” in the seaside city of Mar del Plata. After an Argentinean student at Harvard University convinced him to come to Argentina. He worked on an urban development project in the Casa Amarilla, area of La Boca. The Ukrainian architect, Vladimiro Acosta, arrives in Argentina in 1928 and worked as an architect until que moved to Brazil. Antonio Bonet, a Spanish architect who worked with Le Corbusier in Paris, arrives in Argentina in 1937, where he carried out several architectural works and in 1938 designs the well-known BFK chair. Andres Kálnay, of Hungarian origin, made around 120 architectural masterpieces, among which the former Munich brewery stands out, he even made the furniture’s design. The German architect, Walter Gropius, director of the Bauhaus, lived in Argentina, where he wrote articles for “Sur” magazine and founded in Buenos Aires, an architectural firm with Franz Möller, who was also an architect, where he built two houses. At the same time several famous designers decided to immigrate to Argentina, among them we can find the well-known French designer, Jean-Michel Frank, who arrived in the country in 1940 and also worked for the Rockefeller family. Special pieces were made, which were sold exclusively in the country, such as the well-known German company “WMF”, who sold their products by catalogue, which were chosen by the ladies of high society in the list of wedding gifts, as well as the pieces designed by Christofle. The Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti, made special pieces for Argentinean mansions. In 1904 the first Jansen branch outside Paris was established in Buenos Aires, as the Argentinean clientele demanded a large amount of furniture, from the end of the 19th century to the mid-20th century. In 1970, the brand Rigolleau Argentina made pieces authorised by Lalique. The brands Maple and Thompson also set up shop in the country. The French plastic artist, Marcel Duchamp moved to Argentina in 1918-1919. Glass signed Gallé, Charder, Leverre, Schneider, Muller and other French firms. They were bought in flower shops and were given to ladies with beautiful floral arrangements. Some furniture manufacturers travelled to international fairs and bough the patterns to produce the furniture in Argentina, such as the furniture firm Englander and Bonta, who bought the patterns ins Italy. It is worth mentioning that in Argentina we have the largest community of Italians outside of Italy, as it is estimated that 70 percent of the inhabitants have at least one Italian descendant, followed by Spanish immigrants. The most Important furniture stores in Argentina: Comte is founded in 1934 (under the direct management of Jean Michel Frank in 1940). Nordiska (Swedish company established in 1934). Churba in 1960, a company that brought foreign designers to present their furniture in the country: Denmark: (Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl, Bender Madsen, Ejner Larsen, Poul Kjaerholm, Hans Wegner) Sweden: (Hans Agne Jakobsson, Gustavsberg) United States: (Herman Miller) Finland: (Lisa Johansson, Folke Arstrom, Tapio Wirkkala, Alvar Aalto, Timo Sarpaneva) Swedish Factory: (Orrefors) Italy: (Littala, Vico Magistretti, Emma Gismondi, Gae Aulenti, Angelo Mangiarotti, Elio Martinelli, Gianna Celada, Angelo Mangiarotti, Mario Bellini, Carlo Scarpa) Finland: (Olivia Toikka) Plata Lappas (Lappas Silver): a goldsmith shop founded in 1887 in Argentina by Alcibiades Lappas of Greek origin. In 2019, in Argentina took place “the Art Deco world congress”, in which we participated as hosts invited by Geo Darder, founder of the Copperbridge – Foundation, in which prominent people from all over the world attended to learn about Art Deco in Argentina. Argentina currently has more than 100 Art Deco buildings and another 90 Art Nouveau buildings throughout the city of Buenos Aires. Argentina is a country that has not been involved in many wars, which is why it has been a refuge for works of art and antiques from different periods of time, unlike European countries. That is way many collectors, museums and antique dealers from all over the world visit it, you should not miss the opportunity to visit this great country. Laura Guevara Kjuder, architect.
