Verdure Leather Box II

A sculptural composition in brass and metal, the Verdure Leather Box II is finished in rich enamel that lends it the quiet authority of a collected object rather than a mere vessel. Its generous proportions — five and a half inches in height, fourteen wide, ten deep — speak to an architectural confidence that anchors a console, library shelf, or dressing table with equal ease. John Richard's signature understanding of decorative form is evident here: refined surface, considered scale, and an presence that rewards a discerning eye.
