History of the house:
The Daum family worked at the start of the Art Nouveau era and created one of the most prominent French glassworks.
Created at the end of the 19th century, Daum's fame is originally linked to the Nancy School and the art of crystal paste,
which has largely contributed to its worldwide notoriety.

At the 1900 Universal Exhibition, Daum was awarded a Grand Prix medal.
Daum glass becomes more elaborate. Acid etching (by Jacques Grüber) was often combined with carving,
glazing and engraving on a single piece of glass to produce creative glass masterpieces.
The more complex designs also featured applied glass elements, such as handles and ornamental designs in naturalistic shapes.
The Daum brothers quickly established themselves in the Art Nouveau movement, seriously competing with Gallé, to the point that upon the death of Émile Gallé in 1904,
they become the leaders in the field of decorative glass.

In 1906, Daum brought back glass paste, an ancient Egyptian method of casting glass, and developed the method so that,
in the 1930s, Daum's window panels used glass paste for their richness, instead of leaded glass or painted glass.
Today, Daum still uses this method to produce its pieces.
