Legendary art crystal maker, world master of "pâte de cristal," and partner to the world's greatest artists since 1878

Founded in 1878 in Nancy, Daum is one of the most prestigious French crystal works, born from a family tradition started by Jean Daum and carried forward by his sons, Antonin and Auguste.
