Palm Tree
Jacques Duval-Brasseur · Signed and dated
France, 1975
A monumental sculptural palm tree by Jacques Duval-Brasseur in gilt bronze, signed and dated 1975. Standing 2.30 metres high, this spectacular palm tree is among the most emblematic and sought-after creations by the sculptor, a major figure of 1970s French decorative arts. From a slender trunk with an irregular, organic texture emerge several clusters of fronds, fanned out at varying heights. Their long, tapered leaves create a generous, airy silhouette, while the curves of the foliage and the rugged surface of the trunk catch the light, revealing every nuance of the gilding. A geometric black metal base accentuates the vertical momentum of the composition. A sculptor and furniture designer, Duval-Brasseur drew his inspiration from animal and plant forms. With this palm tree, he reinvents nature through metal, showcasing a freedom of design and a richness of texture that epitomise the 1970s taste for expressive, luxurious decor, poised between sculpture and the decorative arts. Through its impressive scale and presence, this palm tree stands as a statement centerpiece for a grand living room, entrance hall, or reception area, in both classical and contemporary interiors.
