Christian Techoueyres, Hollywood Regency Dining Table/console In Brass And Amethyst Geodes,

A substantial dining table/console by the French artist Christian Techoueyres. This signed, museum-quality piece is unique.

It comprises a brass and gilt bronze structure depicting a flamboyant bird (an eagle), incorporating two large amethyst geodes set in brass at the base and midway up. The raptor, shown with outstretched wings, rests on branches forming the base. After extensive research, no other work of this scale by the artist has been identified. His known creations are also unique pieces, but generally in the form of a coffee table.

The structure supports a thick glass top, weighing approximately 150 kg and measuring 225 × 110 cm. It has two small chips, visible in the photographs. The entire piece weighs approximately 220 kg and measures 225 × 110 × 74 cm, the standard height for a dining table. The bronze and brass base alone weighs approximately 70 kg and measures 138 × 73 × 72 cm. The whole piece is perfectly stable.

Christian Techoueyres was a French artist and designer active primarily in the second half of the 20th century, renowned for his sculptural creations combining gilded metal, naturalistic forms often depicting animals (lizards, crabs, birds, fish, etc.), and ornamental stones (agate, geodes, etc.). His work embodies a spectacular and decorative aesthetic, often associated with the “Glam Seventies” luxury of the 1970s. He is particularly famous for his “Palm Tree” floor lamp, produced by the prestigious Maison Jansen in Paris, which has become an icon of the Hollywood Regency style. His works, generally produced as unique pieces or in very small series, exist at the boundary between sculpture and furniture. They are now sought after by collectors and found in high-end interiors and collections.
