Daum Caracal Head – Limited Edition of 75 by Isabelle Carabantes – SKU: 05766

Capture the untamed spirit of the wild with the Daum Caracal Head. A masterful collaboration between the historic French crystal house and the renowned animal sculptor Isabelle Carabantes, this monumental piece is a striking tribute to one of the most enigmatic felines in nature. Handcrafted in Nancy, France, using the rare and prestigious Pate de Verre (glass paste) technique, this sculpture immortalizes the caracal’s alert elegance and magnetic presence in living crystal.

Artistic Mastery in Sculpted Crystal Isabelle Carabantes is celebrated for her ability to breathe life into animal forms. In this work, the Caracal Head is rendered with a breathtaking interplay of light and shadow. The iconic tufted ears and intense gaze are highlighted by the unique transparencies of Daum crystal, which shift and glow as light passes through the varied densities of the glass. It is a brilliant fusion of raw natural power and the refined delicacy of French high art.

Why This Item Is So Special

• Ultra-Exclusive Global Rarity: This sculpture is part of an incredibly rare Limited Edition of only 75 pieces worldwide. For the elite collector, this extreme scarcity ensures the piece remains a highly coveted blue-chip investment that will retain its value and prestige for generations. It is a "crown jewel" for any private collection.

• Isabelle Carabantes Design Pedigree: Carabantes is a contemporary master of animalier art, known for capturing the psychological depth of her subjects. By bringing her vision to the medium of Daum crystal, she creates a piece that feels both contemporary and timeless, standing as a testament to anatomical precision and artistic soul.

• The Magic of Pate de Verre: Daum is the world leader in the glass paste technique, a labor-intensive process where crushed crystal is melted in a kiln within a one-time-use mold. This results in a frosted, gemstone-like texture and deep, saturated tones that provide a level of detail and color depth impossible to achieve with traditional glass-blowing.

• Monumental Scale and Imposing Presence: Standing at a commanding 17.3 inches tall and weighing over 16 lbs, this is a substantial work of art. Its vertical silhouette and sharp details make it a magnetic focal point for a luxury library, a grand executive office, or a sophisticated gallery display.

• A Statement of Character: The caracal is a universal symbol of agility, focus, and quiet strength. Owning this sculpture is more than a decorative choice; it is a statement of refined taste and an invitation to admire the fierce beauty of the natural world through the lens of elite French craftsmanship.
