Following the war of 1870, Jean Daum (1825 - 1885), notary in Bitche, sold his office and opted for France. He settled in Nancy in 1876 and bought a glassworks in 1878. In 1878, he involved his son Auguste. Upon his death in 1885, Auguste took sole charge of the glassworks before being joined in 1887 by his brother Antonin. The production of glassware will shift towards artistic creation. Between 1889 and 1891, the two brothers prepared the creation of an artistic department which was entrusted to Antonin. Auguste gives him all the means to work to follow the trail created by Émile Gallé in Art Nouveau glassware. The Universal Exhibition of 1900 brought international recognition with the awarding of a Grand Prix. In 1901, Daum founded the Nancy School with the artists Majorelle and E.Gallé, the spearhead of Art Nouveau. The company continued to participate in major exhibitions: Barcelona in 1923, International Exhibition of Arts Deco in Paris in 1925, Colonial Exhibition in Paris in 1931. In the 1920s, Paul oriented production towards Art Deco in the face of the loss of public interest in Art Nouveau. The crystal factory still exists and its production is internationally known for the quality of these creations.
