Lorrain Nancy: under this name, Cristallerie Daum presents the works of its designer, Pierre D'Avesn. Pressed glass of the finest craftsmanship and artistic expressiveness, featuring stylized blossoms and grasses as motifs with beautiful brilliance and sculptural quality.

This Art Deco lamp has been fully restored and professionally electrified!

The glasses are in very good condition, with a few minor chips on the upper surface, which are not distracting. Not signed, but clearly attributable to Lorrain.

The catalog image shown shows a similar set with these glasses from a brochure by Marcel Hudry Paris from 1930.

The glass of the antique ceiling lamp comes from the famous designer of Cristallerie Daum Nancy: Pierre d'Avesn. The Daum company presented his creations with his artist's signature: Lorrain Nancy. The Art Deco glass is of impressive beauty and brilliance. It depicts blossoms and blades of grass in a stylized form. In the central bowl, they are combined to form a star ornament. The Lorrain lamp is a truly large lamp with 12 light sources.

The Art Deco chandelier is in very good condition considering its age. The tulips have a few minor chips on the top, which are age-related and not distracting. The central bowl has three holes for hanging. However, these are completely concealed by the mount.
