Antiqued Silver-Leaf Fox Box

A sculptural study in stillness, the Antiqued Silver-Leaf Fox Box from John Richard renders its subject with quiet authority — the fox rendered in enamel against a ground of stone and concrete that anchors the piece with elemental weight. At nine and a half inches tall and thirteen and a half inches square, the proportions are considered, commanding enough to hold a console or library shelf without overwhelming it. The antiqued silver-leaf finish imparts the particular luminosity of aged metal, catching light with a restrained, almost atmospheric quality that deepens over time.
