Sculpture Citroën DS 19 - The "Flying Carpet" reborn in Mahogany

A French Citröen Icon Immortalised in the Nobility of Mahogany

Sublime golden leaves sculptural tribute to a timeless icon of French automobile design, this Citroën DS 19 carved in solid mahogany and christened "The Goddess" is part of the "Epures" collection.

Produced in a limited edition of 75 examples on a scale of 1/6, this entirely hand-crafted car sculpture honours the masterpiece of Flaminio Bertoni and André Lefebvre, architects of the aerodynamic profile and air-cushioned suspended chassis that earned the DS its emblematic nickname of ‘flying carpet’.

The DS 19 embodies the avant-garde with its innovative hydropneumatic suspension, offering unrivalled ride comfort, ultra-precise power steering and pioneering power braking. Its refined interior, designed to envelop its passengers in discreet luxury, has made it the preferred choice of statesmen, artists and prestige car collectors. 

100% made in France, this sculpture, in which the noble, natural grain of the mahogany is sublimated by gold leaves and a high-gloss varnish, is the fruit of exceptional expertise. Inherited from his father, a coachbuilder, and passed on to his son, our cabinetmaker and sculptor, who has joined forces with his cousin designer-modeler, to create these artistic interpretations of automotive icons known as ‘Epures’. It's a family story, a shared passion for car design and automotive excellence, which has resulted in a creation as exclusive as the legendary DS 19 that it honours.

True automotive collector's item, this piece of mechanical art is aimed at Citroën enthusiasts, discerning collectors and lovers of exceptional craftsmanship, keen to own a fragment of France's automotive heritage.

  • About the Citroën DS 19 : "The car that saved De Gaulle"

    Unveiled at the 1955 Paris Motor Show, the Citroën DS 19 immediately became a legend, revolutionising the world of motoring with its futuristic design, innovative hydropneumatic system and sculptural elegance. In a single day, it recorded 12,000 orders, a first in the history of the automobile.

    But the DS was not just a technological masterpiece, it was also a car that made a mark on political history. On 22 August 1962, during the Petit-Clamart attack, the presidential DS managed to escape at full speed, despite its bullet-riddled tyres, thanks to its revolutionary suspension system, thus saving Charles de Gaulle and his wife.

    The DS 19 has been featured in a number of cult films (Fantomas, Les Tontons Flingueurs, Back to the Future II), and is inextricably linked with the cinematic imagination. Available in several versions, from the original DS 19 to the DS 23 Pallas, it was voted ‘Most beautiful car of all time’ in 2009 and is now a key part of France's global automotive heritage.

About the artist.

From ancestral know-how to an elite journey

Born in 1975 and descended from a line of bodywork craftsmen, the creator of this automotive sculpture in solid mahogany has always worked the material with passion, sculpting wood with the same precision as his ancestors worked metal.

Graduated from the École Boulle, his talent was recognised very early on, and in 1995 he was awarded the Oscar for Contemporary Creation for his excellence in exceptional craftsmanship.

His love of legendary automobiles, coupled with his family's expertise, naturally led him to revisit some of the most iconic models in automotive history: the Lamborghini Miura, the Ferrari F40, the Porsche 356, the MG A Type, the Bugatti Atlantic, the Aston Martin DB5, the Citroën DS 19 ...

The result is the "Epures" collection, in which each creation becomes a tribute to the elegance and performance of these classic cars. Each handcrafted sculpture is signed by the artist on a plate discreetly integrated beneath the work and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing its origin and value over time.
