This is the wrought iron sculpture 'Tree VII', created by the artist Jean-Luc Bertel. The work is part of his recent 'Trees' series and shows a clear kinship with the monumental wrought iron sculptures of Eduardo Chillida.
The sculpture is entirely hand-forged from iron, with the hammer and anvil technique immediately visible on the surface. The material has been given a protective coating resulting in a deep black-brown color with a subtle sheen. The work is signed and dated, confirming the authenticity of this unique piece.
The object is in excellent condition, with the robust finish and hammer marks highlighting the character of the wrought ironwork. The construction is solid and the finish shows no unintended wear.
This sculpture comes into its own in a minimalist or industrial interior. The object functions as a powerful visual anchor point on a sideboard, pedestal, or in an open cabinet.
