Inspired by the silent majesty of forests, this sculpture captures the striking expression of an alert bear with an inspiring deep golden amber colour, crafted from crystal, embodying centuries of expertise. The nuances of the pate de verre glass evoke colorful transparencies, bringing a unique vibrancy to the subject. The bear's magnetic presence, the brilliance of light it captures, transforms any space into a place of contemplation. It is an invitation to appreciate natural beauty, frozen in eternal movement by masterful craftsmanship. Signed Daum France

ABOUT

Daum Glass

Founded in 1878 in Nancy, France, Daum began as a modest glassworks established by Jean Daum. Initially producing utilitarian wares, the firm rapidly evolved under the direction of his sons, Auguste and Antonin Daum, who embraced the flourishing Art Nouveau movement. By the late 19th century, Daum had become one of the leading artistic glassmakers in France, renowned for its cameo glass, acid-etched decoration, and naturalistic designs inspired by flora and fauna.

Working alongside artists of the École de Nancy, including Émile Gallé, Daum developed a distinctive style characterised by layered glass, intricate carving, and subtle coloration. In the early 20th century, the firm adapted to the emerging Art Deco aesthetic, producing sleeker, more geometric designs while maintaining exceptional technical standards.

A major innovation came with the development of pâte de verre, a technique revived and refined by Daum to create sculptural works with soft, textured surfaces and rich translucency. This process became central to the company’s identity in the modern era.

Today, Daum continues to collaborate with contemporary artists and designers, producing limited-edition sculptures and objects that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern creativity. From its Art Nouveau origins to its current position as a leader in artistic glass, Daum remains synonymous with innovation, quality, and French decorative excellence.
