Daum "Charlotte in White and Silver" Limited Edition Sculpture by Jean-Philippe Richard | SKU: 03171-1

True artistic power does not loudly demand your attention; it commands it through a majestic display of ethereal elegance, architectural scale, and pure sculptural light. Standing over four-and-a-half feet tall, this monumental, limited-edition crystal sculpture captures the fluid, poetic silhouette of female grace. It serves as a breathtaking centerpiece for a private residence, anchoring the space with the unmistakable mastery of French crystal handcraft.

STORY & MEANING

"Charlotte Blanche et Argent" represents a triumphant, high-art milestone within Daum’s prestigious Art Editions catalog. Created by renowned French sculptor Jean-Philippe Richard, the piece pays tribute to timeless femininity through a slender body that emerges from raw material with poise, dignity, and independence.

The sculpture is meticulously crafted using Daum’s ancestral Pâte de Cristal (crystal paste) lost-wax technique. Finely crushed crystal fragments are hand-packed into refractory molds and subjected to multi-day kiln firings, creating a luminous white translucency that plays subtly with ambient light. The statue rises gracefully from a bronze base finished in gold and aluminum leafing, establishing a striking textural dialogue between soft white crystal, silver-toned highlights, and metallic warmth.

Strictly restricted to an elite global edition of 75 pieces, this investment-grade masterpiece bridges the gap between classical Art Nouveau inspiration and contemporary fine art. It serves as a permanent trust anchor for a principal foyer niche, an estate drawing room, or a custom-lit gallery display.

AVAILABILITY

The "Charlotte Blanche et Argent" Sculpture is one of the rarest and most technically challenging works in Daum’s modern production line. Because lost-wax casting crystal at a height of 55 inches requires months of specialized kiln management and hand finishing, production yields are naturally low. With global availability strictly limited to 75 numbered pieces worldwide, remaining atelier allocations are claimed quickly by international collectors. We invite you to acquire this monumental expression of French crystal art for your private sanctuary while allocations remain open.
