Michael Aram Butterfly Ginkgo Candleholder, Set of 2

The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael Aram'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 candleholder is rendered in solid bronze with acid etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of Indian craft and capture the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work.
