Daum Jean-No Silverback Gorilla – Amber Grey – Limited Edition of 125 – SKU: 05703
Experience a breathtaking fusion of raw power and delicate artistry with the Daum Silverback Gorilla. Created by the acclaimed artist Jean-No, this monumental crystal sculpture captures the majestic spirit and quiet authority of the wild’s most powerful primate. Handcrafted in Nancy, France, using the legendary Pate de Verre (glass paste) technique, this piece is rendered in a sophisticated Amber Grey palette that creates a magnetic, life-like presence in any luxury environment.
Mastery of French Glass Art The unique visual character of Daum crystal is achieved through a centuries-old lost-wax process. The Amber and Grey hues are infused into the crystal while in a molten state, resulting in a complex color gradient that shifts and glows as light passes through its substantial form. Every muscle, every detail of the gorilla’s fur, and its piercing, thoughtful expression are frozen in crystal, creating a striking visual effect that is both imposing and deeply moving.
Why This Item Is So Special
Ultra-Rare Limited Edition: This sculpture is part of a strictly Limited Edition of only 125 pieces worldwide. Daum’s animalier collection is highly sought after by international collectors; a series this small ensures that the piece is a significant investment that will remain a rare treasure on the global art market.
Monumental Size and Weight: Standing at 13 inches tall and weighing a massive 30.42 lbs (13.8 kg), this is one of Daum’s most substantial and physically impressive works. Its sheer scale and density convey the true power of a silverback gorilla, making it an undeniable centerpiece for an executive office or a luxury estate.
Jean-No’s Artistic Vision: Designed by the famous sculptor Jean-No, known for his ability to translate the raw energy of wildlife into refined materials. This collaboration between a master artist and the legendary Daum workshop represents the pinnacle of contemporary glass art.
The Pate de Verre Fingerprint: Because of the complex kiln-firing process used in Pate de Verre, no two gorillas are identical. The way the amber and grey pigments settle is unique to each casting, meaning you are acquiring a one-of-a-kind original that cannot be replicated.
A Symbol of Strength and Leadership: The silverback gorilla is the ultimate symbol of protection, wisdom, and quiet strength. This sculpture is more than a decorative object; it is a powerful statement of leadership and a tribute to the conservation of nature’s most magnificent creatures.
