AUDIARD Michel (1951) Unique example in steel, brass and gilded bronze caryatid, glass top. These consoles with very feminine forms, wink to the Regency style. They are made of oxidized sheet metal, with black soldering, or natural sheet metal with brass soldering, which gives a very particular patina to this furniture. From one of his sheet metal consoles, Michel Audiard makes a mold in elastomer and resin, then produces a limited edition of 12 (8+4) in various materials such as bronze, granite, concrete or patinated plaster. It is probably a work dating from the years 2000. Size: 83 x 154 x 67 cm Chips in the glass top
