The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, the ginkgo Biloba, or "Butterfly ginkgo", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid bronze with acid etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of Indian craft and capture the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work.
These butterfly ginkgo candleholders are a striking piece that work well in both contemporary and eclectic interiors. I love their organic, nature-inspired design, which adds a touch of elegance and whimsy. They’re particularly effective styled in pairs on a mantelpiece or a side table, where their intricate branches and metallic accents can be appreciated. To really make them stand out, consider placing them in a space with natural textures, like wood or stone, and keep surrounding décor minimal to let the candleholders be the statement. They're versatile enough to complement a neutral palette or add an unexpected twist to more vibrant settings, making them a great addition to any space that benefits from a blend of aesthetic and functional elegance.
