About the Item

Hand-turned from a single block of moutouchi wood, this exceptional French monoxyle vase (circa 1970) embodies the refined organic modernism of the period. Its perfectly balanced spherical form highlights the deep, swirling grain of the tropical hardwood, with warm amber and chocolate tones enhanced by a soft natural patina. A fine example of 1970s French craftsmanship, this piece unites sculptural presence and material authenticity, bringing a sense of quiet elegance and timeless harmony to any interior.
