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
Gilt intaglio signature Daum Nancy with the cross of Lorraine, inscribed Mo and Fecit, dated 1895,
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

ANONYMOUS – “CRANE AND REEDS” FLOOR LAMP, CIRCA 1900-1905

“CRANE AND REEDS” FLOOR LAMP, CIRCA 1900-1905
Bronze and patinated metal
Height: 175 cm.

This work, likely of Japanese origin, is a masterful example of the decorative appeal of bronze cranes around 1900, following the Western importation of sacred animals. Impressive in scale and retaining its original patina, our floor lamp is a brilliant illustration of the integration of fauna and flora into a lighting fixture in keeping with contemporary taste.

Other examples of this type of floor lamp are known: one is held in the Gillion Crowet Collection (Belgium), and another, from the Rispal donation (France, 2005), is part of the Musée d'Orsay collections.”
