Description

Mounted on a hardstone and quartz base, this beauiful flower model is made from nephrite, amethyst and gilt silver, to create a wonderful decorative work of art.

The quartz base resembles a rocky alpine outcrop, while the flower blossoms out of it, almost miraculously from the barren stone. Nephrite forms the leaves, while the delicate, beautifully observed, semi-transparent petals of the flower study itself are made from amethyst. The stem is cast in silver-gilt.

Of unclear twentieth century continental origins, it is a beautiful, naturalistic flower study, and a wonderful work of decorative art, making a fine homely accent and interior addition.
