DAUM FRERES – PAUL RACADOT – “HOMMAGE A CAMILLE CAVALLIER” LAMP, 1924
“HOMMAGE A CAMILLE CAVALLIER” LAMP, 1924
Blown and engraved glass
Inscribed: Charlon/Pont à Mousson/Camille Cavallier/Hommage/des Conseillers/du Commerce Extérieur/de la Région de l’Est/1924″ et “Métallurgie/Pont à Mousson/1856/Foug/1905 Au Boue/1905/S’Estienne du Rouvray/1915
Height: 74 cm.
“Ce magnifique vase est la réplique de celui qui a été offert officiellement à Camille Cavallier, président-fondateur des Fonderies de Pont-à-Mousson, en 1924. Sur un fond symbolique de blés mûrs au temps de la moisson, quatre médaillons reproduisent dans une dominante rougeoyante qui leur convient, des scènes d’atelier, depuis la mine jusqu’à la forge. Tous ces motifs sculptés finement dans le verre, sont les témoins de la qualité exceptionnelle des graveurs sur verre de cette époque. Leur travail n’était pas exempt d’aléas, et si ce vase n’est qu’une réplique de l’original, quoique terminé, c’est qu’il est légèrement fêlé. Au cours des derniers coups de roue, une crique s’est déclarée inopinèment, rendant nécessaire la reprise à zéro du travail sur une autre pièce en attente, qui ne dut qu’à un tour de force d’être prête à temps. Le principal auteur du travail était le célèbre H. Racadot”. (Notice of Noël Daum in the catalogue of the exhibition at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy)

DAUM NANCY – JACQUES GRUBER – JULES MARCHAND, Engraver – “VIGNE” VASE, 1895
“VIGNE” VASE, 1895
Moulded, blown, internally decorated glass, overlaid in black, deeply acid-etched
and wheel-carved, applied decoration

signed Gruber Del and J. Marchand
46 cm. high
Jacques Gruber was the most prominent designer working at Daum between 1893 and 1897.
From 1893, he designed vessels intended for national and international exhibitions,
most of which were unique pieces. He is most probably the author of the shape that appeared
in 1894 and of which very few examples are known, more or less all equal in height and with
various designs of poppies, thistles, sweet peas, and peacock feathers.
Most of them are presently in museums. We were unable to locate a similar example in that particular height.
Jules Marchand was the principal engraver at the Daum workshop. Working with an oil lamp, he ended his life blind

JACQUES GRUBER – DAUM NANCY – “FRUCTIDOR” VASE, 1896
“FRUCTIDOR” VASE, 1896
After a drawing by Jacques Gruber
Acid-etched glass, finely wheel carved
Signed, titled, dated and with the Cross of Lorraine
27 cm. high
The title is taken from the name of the last month of the French Republican calendar, which represented
the “fruits that the sun gilds and ripens from August to September”.
The carved decoration of our vase shows multiple inspirations: Greek and Roman, Japanese art,
and German Expressionism. It can be compared with two other vases: “L’heure calme”.
“L’incantation crépusculaire”, 1895, in the Musées royaux d’Art et d’Histoire, Brussels,
and “Tristan et Yseult”, circa 1897, in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Nancy.
