Elegant Real Touch Orchids

A sculptural arrangement of real-touch orchids rises twenty-eight inches, their botanically faithful blooms suspended above a bed of preserved moss with the quiet authority of something gathered rather than made. The vessel and its architectural framework are rendered in polished brass and nickel, two finishes whose interplay lends the composition a jewel-like precision that situates it firmly within the tradition of fine decorative objects. John Richard has long understood that the most enduring botanical work lives at the intersection of nature and craft, and this piece honors that lineage without apology.
