Baccarat Lying in Wait Panther, 10 1/4in
The panther is a solitary and steadfast hunter. Known for its effortless adaptability and acute senses, the wild animal stalks its prey with great agility. Designed for Baccarat by Rosetta, the panther nimble, feline movement is embodied in all its splendor. The near-vertical silhouette imbues the panther with a lean, hypnotic grace. The prowling figurine and black resin base are not glued together; rather, the two modules are independent and the panther simply rests on it. The acrobatic posture is stabilized using a discreetly indicated notch that maintains the figurine equilibrium. The juxtaposition of the black pedestal against the Baccarat crystal underscores its radiance all the more. Moreover, the detailing looks even sharper against the opacity of the black shape.
