Daum Tressage Decorative Flower Sculpture – Crystal Sculpture

The Daum Tressage Decorative Flower Sculpture is a crystal sculpture crafted by Daum, the celebrated French crystal manufactory founded in Nancy in 1878.

Each Daum piece is made by hand, so color and shading vary slightly from piece to piece and from the photos.

A Luxury Handmade Collectible

From the Caribbean to Madagascar to Indonesia, leaves from bamboo, banana, and coconut trees are braided in the art of basket weaving. This ancestral practice requires only fresh leaves and excellent dexterity; its use is near ubiquitous for everyday items such as baskets, hats, fences, and decoration.

Daum's creative studios explore this art form by adapting the basketweaving technique to sculpture. Natural fibers are braided and then reshaped into vases and bowls. Fronds of different plants criss-cross and blend—fresh, green, and slender—forming vessels where one can showcase cut flowers or freshly-harvested fruits. For an added touch of lush, tropical flora native to the islands where basket-weaving is still common practice, yellow vanilla flowers adorn and perfect these beautiful pieces.

Every Daum piece is crafted in the Daum manufactory using the pâte de verre technique, in which crushed crystal is cast and kiln-fired — no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
