"Petite Panthère" by Daum
This striking pâte de verre sculpture by Daum portrays a sleek panther captured in a low, prowling stance, embodying tension and control. The animal’s elongated body stretches forward with quiet intensity, its head lowered and limbs extended as if stalking unseen prey.
The glass is beautifully infused with rich amber, burnt orange, and deep golden amber tones, creating a luminous interplay of light and shadow across the smooth, polished surface. Subtle variations in colour accentuate the musculature and fluid contours of the form. The minimalist modelling enhances the sense of movement, while the glowing translucency lends the piece an almost lifelike presence. A compelling fusion of artistry and craftsmanship, it exudes elegance and quiet power.

ABOUT
Daum Glass
Founded in 1878 in Nancy, France, Daum began as a modest glassworks established by Jean Daum. Initially producing utilitarian wares, the firm rapidly evolved under the direction of his sons, Auguste and Antonin Daum, who embraced the flourishing Art Nouveau movement. By the late 19th century, Daum had become one of the leading artistic glassmakers in France, renowned for its cameo glass, acid-etched decoration, and naturalistic designs inspired by flora and fauna.
Working alongside artists of the École de Nancy, including Émile Gallé, Daum developed a distinctive style characterised by layered glass, intricate carving, and subtle coloration. In the early 20th century, the firm adapted to the emerging Art Deco aesthetic, producing sleeker, more geometric designs while maintaining exceptional technical standards.
A major innovation came with the development of pâte de verre, a technique revived and refined by Daum to create sculptural works with soft, textured surfaces and rich translucency. This process became central to the company’s identity in the modern era.
Today, Daum continues to collaborate with contemporary artists and designers, producing limited-edition sculptures and objects that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern creativity. From its Art Nouveau origins to its current position as a leader in artistic glass, Daum remains synonymous with innovation, quality, and French decorative excellence.
