Curved Stone, Alabaster Wall Sconce

A sculptural study in contradiction, the Curved Stone sconce from John Richard holds the visual weight of alabaster within a bronzed iron form that is, in truth, entirely metal — the illusion a testament to the maker's command of material and finish. The arc of its silhouette draws the eye upward, its organic curve softening the architectural plane it inhabits while the deep bronzed patina grounds it in something ancient and deliberate. At thirteen inches tall, it occupies the wall with quiet authority, scaled for intimacy yet composed with the confidence of a larger gesture.
