Amber Pink Faucon Gerfaut by Madeleine van der Knoop
Madeleine van der Knoop is a distinguished Belgian sculptor, born in Brussels. True masterpieces, the sculptures of Madeleine van der Knoop reveal an intense realism, while revealing a personal touch. A re-edition of the Gyrfalcon Hawk was born from the rich collaboration between Madeleine van der Knoop and Daum. The Animal Art collection at Daum expands with the addition of this magnificent bird of prey in a realist style that makes a reference to the art of falconry. Perched on a beautifully patinated bronze base, the almighty hawk is adorned with jet-black obsidian stones and a gilded beak in 24k gold. The meticulous detail of the sculpture is yet another testament of the incredible talent of the Daum craftsmen.
