The product is a rare, one-of-a-kind signed Curtis Jere Tree of Life sculpture. This mid-century modern piece is a striking example of Brutalist style furniture, known for its bold geometric shapes and organic forms. The unique design and craftsmanship of this stunning piece make it a standout addition to any antique furniture collection. Unlike the 1970s brass and wire pieces that were mass-produced, Curtis Jeré’s kiln-fired glass-on-metal enamels were produced during a incredibly brief window in the 1960s. Surviving pieces are incredibly scarce, and finding an orange variant featuring a verified signature is an ultimate collector’s find. Key Features & Condition:The Signature: Hand-signed in gold paint with the iconic cursive C. Jeré script on the lower right edge of the canopy. (Note: Most orange versions left the Artisan House studio completely unsigned; this is a certified signed example). The Enamel & Torch Work: Gorgeous, vibrant orange and red glass-frit pooling forming the “oranges, ” completely intact with zero fractures or impact damage. The background features a striking speckled gold-dust texture. Brutalist Accents: Framed by masterfully executed torch-cut metal “drips” and textured slag edges along the entire perimeter of the oval canopy. The Base: Features the heavy, beautifully cast-metal trunk mimicking rough tree bark, finished in a rich golden-brass tone. Mounting: Mounted flat onto its original, stunning Mid-Century Modern wood backing board. Ready to hang immediately. This is a investment-grade crossover centerpiece perfect for high-end Brutalist, Atomic, or Mid-Century Modern interiors. Please review the high-resolution photos for exact condition details.
