The finely chiseled and patinated bronze frame—the three legs, the handle, and the center of the base—features seaweed motifs. The tall, tapered tulip shade, formed at three points with pliers, is made of multilayered glass with a pale green iridescent finish on a beige background; the bodies of the dragonflies are crafted from molded glass, hot-applied, shaped on the wheel, and set against an intermediate layer of color—the base finished with light hammering. The lamp is complete with its original patinated bronze cup and its power connector, also in bronze. 1910s. The tulip is signed “DAUM Nancy” with the Cross of Lorraine, engraved near the base. Height: 38 cm – Base diameter: 19 cm Tulip height: 19 cm Acknowledgments: We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Xavier Eury, CNE expert and curator of the Daum Historical Collection, for the valuable information he provided regarding this piece.
