Daum Nancy — Art Nouveau “maple Leaves” Vase

This superb vase by Daum Nancy, in double-glazed glass with acid-etched decoration, is a remarkable example of French Art Nouveau. Round in shape with a convex trilobed neck, it features a sumptuous decoration of maple leaves, buds, and branches finely etched in reserve. The motifs are enameled in amber-brown tones, then delicately enhanced and gilded. The frosted background of the vase provides a subtle contrast that highlights the refinement of the plant decoration. Stylized gold ribbons adorn the neck, emphasizing the fluid elegance of the silhouette. The signature "Daum Nancy" is inscribed in gold on the body of the vase, attesting to its authenticity and prestigious origin. This vase perfectly illustrates the combination of technical mastery and naturalist inspiration specific to the École de Nancy. An exceptional piece for any collector or lover of early 20th-century decorative arts.
