The author is Victor Saglier, who worked in Nancy at the end of the 19th century. Below is the signature of the factory: "Daum Nancy". France, XIX century.The history of the house "Daum Nancy" began in 1878, when the master Jean Dom (later his business was inherited by his sons Louis-Augustin and Antonine) opened his first workshop. In 1891, the production moved to Nancy. An ordinary workshop turned into a successful art factory. The masters collaborated with Louis Majorelle, Victor Prouvé, Emile Galle, Hilton McConico and other eminent designers. Most of the work was done in the nascent style - Art Nouveau. In 1900, at the Paris Exhibition, the new style was officially recognized, and Daum Nancy's works received the Grand Prix and orders from metropolitan clients. Nancy was the first to manufacture electric lamps with laminated glass shades. A year after the furore at the Paris exhibition, the Nancy factory invited the architect Eugene Wallen to work and organized the world-famous School of Nancy. Later, Nancy's masters began to work with crystal.
