Orchids in Bloom Candleholder, Small Nickel

A sculptural composition in nickel-finished metal and brass, this candleholder from John Richard renders the orchid in full architectural bloom — each petal arrested at the precise moment of unfurling, rising to a commanding twenty-six inches. Stone and marble ground the base with the quiet authority of natural material, lending the piece a satisfying weight that speaks to considered craft rather than mere ornament. The cool luminosity of the nickel finish unifies the composition, allowing it to read as both object and atmosphere within a room of any register.
