Daum Mer de Corail Royal Angelfish Blue and Yellow – Limited Edition of 125 - SKU: 05729-1
Experience a dazzling underwater ballet with the Royal Angelfish in Blue and Yellow, a premier centerpiece from Daum’s world-renowned Mer de Corail (Coral Sea) collection. This sculpture is a vibrant tribute to the mysteries of the ocean depths, capturing the electric energy and fluid grace of the Royal Angelfish in a breathtaking display of living crystal. Handcrafted in Nancy, France, this piece represents the pinnacle of luxury French glassmaking and artistic marine exploration.
A Symphony of Azure and Sun-Bright Pâte de Cristal Using the ancient and complex Pâte de Cristal (glass paste) technique, Daum’s master artisans have created a sculpture with a level of color saturation impossible to achieve through traditional glass blowing. The striking combination of deep royal blue and sun-bright yellow mimics the vivid, natural camouflage of the reef’s most emblematic inhabitants. The sculpture is supported by a varnished patinated bronze base, providing a rich, sophisticated contrast to the luminous, translucent crystal.
Why This Item Is So Special
Elite Limited Edition Rarity: This work is part of a strictly Limited Edition of only 125 pieces worldwide. Its high level of exclusivity makes it a premier investment for serious art collectors and marine enthusiasts; once the 125 units are sold, this specific colorway will never be produced again, ensuring exceptional long-term value.
Imposing Gallery Presence: Standing nearly 13 inches tall and weighing a substantial 17 lbs, this is a grand-scale work of art. Its significant physical weight and magnetic aura make it a definitive focal point for a luxury entryway, a grand salon, or a professional art display.
The Living Crystal Effect: Daum’s unique crystal is designed to interact dynamically with light. The azure and gold gradients within the fish catch and refract ambient light, creating a shimmering effect that makes the piece appear to be in motion, as if swimming through sunlit tropical waters.
Centuries of French Savoir-Faire: Every scale, fin, and curve is rendered with astonishing precision through the lost-wax process. Because the plaster mold is destroyed to extract the crystal after firing, no two sculptures are exactly alike, ensuring your piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind original.
Timeless Heritage Materials: The solid bronze base is treated with a specialized varnish and patina, ensuring it retains its beauty for generations. It provides the perfect weight and elegance to anchor this masterpiece in any high-end interior.
