Daum Crystal Panther Head by Patrick Villas — Limited Edition 125 | Pâte de Cristal Sculpture | Made in France | SKU 05607
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Daum France | Panther's Head by Patrick Villas | Limited Edition of 125
This is one of the most commanding crystal sculptures ever produced by the legendary Daum atelier in Nancy, France — a monumental Panther's Head conceived by celebrated sculptor Patrick Villas in his first-ever collaboration with Daum. Cast in warm amber pâte de cristal using the ancient lost-wax technique, this piece is simultaneously raw and refined, powerful and poetic. It does not merely sit in a room — it commands it.
WHY THIS ITEM IS SO SPECIAL
Patrick Villas trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and stands in direct lineage with the great animal sculptors of history — Antoine-Louis Barye and Rembrandt Bugatti. Unlike the polished bronzes of the 19th century, Villas works with a raw, energetic hand. Every intentional mark, every textured surface is preserved in the crystal, translated through Daum's pâte de cristal process into something that breathes and catches light differently at every hour of the day.
This is not a decorative object. It is a serious, museum-quality work of art — signed by both Daum France and Patrick Villas, numbered within a global edition of just 125 pieces, and accompanied by its original certificate of authenticity, box, and bag directly from the Daum atelier.
At 60 pounds of solid amber crystal — nearly 14 inches tall and over 11 inches wide — this is a sculpture with genuine physical presence. It was created for collectors who understand that great art does not need to explain itself.
