Daum Turquoise Royal Angelfish – Mer de Corail Collection – SKU: 05729-3
Dive into the depths of luxury with the Turquoise Royal Angelfish, a breathtaking centerpiece from Daum’s prestigious Mer de Corail (Coral Sea) collection. This sculpture is a poetic tribute to the vibrant life found within the world’s oceans, capturing the fluid grace and magnetic energy of the Royal Angelfish in a stunning display of "living crystal."
The Mastery of Pâte de Cristal and Palladium Crafted using Daum’s signature Pâte de Cristal (glass paste) technique, this sculpture achieves a level of detail and color gradation that is simply unreachable by traditional glassblowing. The vivid turquoise crystal mimics the shimmering reflections of tropical waters, while the sculpture is elevated by a solid bronze base with a high-end palladium finish. This cool-toned, precious metal base provides a sophisticated contrast to the vibrant crystal, ensuring the piece stands as a contemporary masterpiece.
Why This Item Is So Special
A Captivating Marine Aura: The delicate play of light and transparency within the turquoise crystal creates a shimmering effect, making the fish appear as if it is suspended in water. It is an extraordinary example of how Daum captures the spirit of nature in solid form.
Exceptional Scale and Commanding Weight: Standing nearly 13 inches tall and weighing a substantial 17 lbs, this is a grand-scale work of art. Its significant physical presence makes it a definitive statement piece for a luxury mantle, executive desk, or gallery pedestal.
The Palladium Distinction: The use of palladium—a rare, lustrous, and tarnish-resistant precious metal—on the bronze base provides a mirror-like brilliance. This premium finish is specifically chosen to complement modern, high-end interiors and cool-toned color palettes.
Museum-Quality Detail: Every scale and fin is rendered with astonishing precision. The lost-wax process ensures that your specific sculpture is a unique original, with nuances of color and internal glints that are entirely its own.
High-Value Investment: As a highlight of the Mer de Corail series, this Royal Angelfish is highly sought after by marine life enthusiasts and collectors of fine French crystal. It represents a timeless fusion of French artisanal heritage and high-fashion home decor that appreciates in value.
