Louis Majorelle et Daum

Louis Majorelle (1859, 1926) was a celebrated French Art Nouveau furniture designer and cabinetmaker based in Nancy, whose workshop produced exquisitely crafted pieces inspired by natural forms. Daum Frères, the renowned Nancy glassmaking firm founded by Jean Daum and carried forward by his sons Auguste and Antonin, became legendary for its cameo and acid-etched art glass. Together, Majorelle and Daum collaborated on iconic lamp designs that combined Majorelle's wrought-iron and bronze bases with Daum's luminous glass shades, representing the pinnacle of the Nancy School of Art Nouveau.
