Nickel and Gold Textured Oval Bowl

A sculptural presence in metal and aluminum, this generous oval bowl by John Richard commands attention through the dialogue between its nickel and gold surfaces — a textural interplay that reads as both ancient and utterly contemporary. At once vessel and artwork, its elongated form stretches thirty-one inches across with a restraint that speaks to serious collecting rather than mere decoration. The undulating surface catches light with quiet authority, shifting in character as the hour changes, making it equally at home anchoring a console in an entry hall or holding court at the center of a dining table.
