Daum Horoscope Monkey with Peach – Yellow and Green Crystal – SKU: 05556
Experience the legendary artistry of French crystal with the Daum Monkey with Peach sculpture. A highlight of the prestigious Daum Horoscope collection, this piece captures the playful spirit and intelligence of the Chinese Zodiac. Handcrafted in Nancy, France, using the rare and historic Pate de Verre (glass paste) technique, this sculpture shimmers in a vibrant gradient of yellow and green, evoking the lush, sun-drenched canopy of a tropical jungle.
Mastery of Light and Color The unique visual character of this Daum piece is achieved through a meticulous centuries-old lost-wax process. The yellow and green hues are fused during the firing process, creating organic transitions and subtle transparencies that capture every highlight of natural light. This monkey, depicted in a moment of curiosity while clutching a lucky peach, is a masterclass in miniature sculptural detail and expressive glass art.
Why This Item Is So Special
Ancient Symbol of Luck and Longevity: In Eastern culture, the monkey clutching a peach is a powerful symbol of longevity, health, and good fortune. The peach represents the "Peach of Immortality," making this not just a decorative object, but a meaningful talisman designed to bring positive energy and protection to its owner.
Exquisite Pate de Verre Technique: Unlike standard mass-produced lead crystal, Pate de Verre allows for a depth of color and a frosted, gemstone-like texture that is exclusive to Daum. Because the glass pigments settle differently in every single firing, your monkey is a one-of-a-kind original with its own distinct color fingerprint.
The Ultimate Personalized Luxury Gift: As a key part of the Zodiac series, this is the definitive high-end gift for those born in the Year of the Monkey (1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016). It perfectly represents the traits of agility, intelligence, and wit.
Petite Luxury with Significant Presence: Though it stands at a delicate 2.8 inches tall, its vibrant coloration and incredible detail make it a standout piece for an executive desk, a vanity, or a curated crystal cabinet. It brings the prestige of French high-fashion to even the smallest spaces.
Investment-Grade Collectible: Daum is one of the most respected names in the global luxury art market. Pieces from the Zodiac and Horoscope collections are highly sought after by international collectors, ensuring this sculpture remains a valuable and prestigious asset for years to come.
