Palm tree floor lamp in brass by Christian Techoueyres for Maison Jansen, France, 1970s.

Palm tree floor lamp designed by Christian Techoueyres for Maison Jansen, France, 1970s. This sculptural lamp is made of hand-cut and welded brass, shaped into palm leaves with finely scalloped edges. The design combines a naturalistic attention to detail with a bold decorative presence, characteristic of Maison Jansen's production during this period. Christian Techoueyres was closely associated with Maison Jansen, the legendary Parisian interior design house founded in 1880, which worked for clients such as the Kennedys, the Rothschilds, and the Shah of Iran. From the 1960s onwards, the house developed a series of metal light fixtures in the shape of palm trees and flowers, which have since become icons of glamorous 20th-century French design. The lamp rests on a square brass base with a natural patina. Three bulbs are hidden among the leaves, diffusing a warm light through the perforated brass when lit. Comparable examples of Techoueyres' palm lamps are found in international collections and frequently appear in high-end auctions, highlighting their collectible nature and timeless appeal.
