C. Techmeyers - Statue

This is a rare and monumental metal sculpture by the French designer Christian Techoueyres, made for Maison Jansen in the 1970s. Below are all the specific details of the object: Designer: Christian Techoueyres Manufacturer / Publisher: Attributed to Maison Jansen (Paris, France) Title of the work: "Pélican et Roseaux" (Pelican and Reeds) Period: 1970s (circa 1970–1975) Style: Brutalist Hollywood Regency Material: Solid bronze (reed stalks and base) combined with hand-cut brass (bird and leaves) Signature: The sculpture is hand-signed with the original ink-etched signature "C. Techoueyres" on the wing (see attached detail photo). Dimensions: Height approximately 70 cm | Width approximately 45 cm | Depth approximately 100 cm Weight: Very heavy (estimated between 20 and 35 kg for the loose metal part and 80 kg in total). Current state & Patina: The sculpture has stood outdoors for a long time and has accordingly developed a beautiful, nature-formed exterior patina (copper-green oxidation on the bronze, deep olive-brown coloration on the brass). The metal and the welds are structurally in good, solid condition apart from a reed stem, which sits somewhat loose on the base. It has been deliberately chosen not to chemically clean or polish the sculpture in order to protect the original 50-year-old patina layer. Logistics: Due to the high weight and the fragility of the protruding parts, the object cannot be shipped by regular mail. It is located in the Rotterdam region and must be picked up by the buyer, or transported by a professional art courier. #madeinfrance
