White Lazurite Dove and Brass Wall Sconce I

A sculpted dove rendered in white lazurite alights against a composition of polished brass, transforming this wall sconce into something closer to an objet than a light fixture. At eighteen and a half inches tall, its proportions are precisely calibrated — commanding without overwhelming, intimate enough for a dressing room or library alcove yet resolved enough to hold a grander wall. The interplay between the cool, mineral stillness of the stone and the warm luminosity of the brass speaks to John Richard's abiding instinct for materials in productive tension. It is, in the truest sense, a collector's piece.
