Michael Aram Orchid: Golden Brass Blooms on Marble

The orchid has long stood for purity and grace, and in the Orchid collection Michael Aram turns that fragile flower into something meant to last. Each bloom is white enamel set on golden brass, the stems are forged in metal, and most pieces stand on a base of marble. Michael Aram introduced Orchid as a collection for independent retailers, which is why you'll find it at a store like ours rather than in a department store.

In his own words, Michael describes the effect simply: “Rendered with white enamel over golden brass, each bloom glistens with quiet vibrance.” The contrast is the point – petals that look weightless, on pieces solid enough to use every day.

Paris Tableware & Gifts, a store in Ridgewood, New Jersey, carries the Michael Aram Orchid collection and ships across the continental US, with free shipping on orders over $150.

Caring for Orchid

Dust with a soft, dry cloth and keep the marble away from standing water and acidic spills such as wine or citrus. Avoid polishes and abrasive cleaners on the enamel. For flowers, use a glass liner or let the vase dry fully between arrangements.
