Description
Limited Availability

From the Butterfly Ginkgo Collection by Michael Aram, this cake stand features:

The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael´s fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, the Ginkgo Biloba, or "Butterfly Ginkgo", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly´s wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with hand-etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of the handcrafted process, capturing the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael´s work.

• Natural & oxidized brass
• Marble
• Hand wash
• Approx. 6.5" H x 11" dia.

Imported.
