Daum Jean-François Leroy Cheetah Amber – Limited Edition Crystal Sculpture
Experience the untamed majesty of the African savannah with the Daum Cheetah in Amber Crystal. Designed by the acclaimed artist Jean-François Leroy, this breathtaking sculpture captures the wild elegance and concentrated power of the world's fastest land animal. Rendered in Daum's signature Pâte de Cristal, this piece is a testament to the "living crystal" technique that has made this French atelier a world leader in luxury glass art for over a century.
The Magic of Pâte de Cristal and Amber Light Each Cheetah sculpture is crafted using the ancient lost-wax technique, a process where the mold is destroyed to reveal the one-of-a-kind treasure within. The choice of Amber crystal is particularly striking; the material interacts dynamically with natural light, creating a spectrum of glowing transparencies and deep, earthy tones. As light passes through the sculpture, the cheetah appears to radiate a magnetic energy, mirroring the golden hues of a sunset on the plains.
