Michael Aram Silver Orchid Stem Sculpture Large

The Silver Orchid Stem Sculpture Large is the most commanding decorative object in Michael Aram's catalogue — a full orchid plant in bloom, rendered at 22" tall in nickelplate with hand-enameled white blooms and anchored in a white marble base. At 13"L × 11"W × 22"H it occupies space the way a real orchid does — with a quiet authority that draws the eye from across the room. Place it on a dining table as a centrepiece. On a console in an entryway. On a mantel. On a side table where a real orchid would go, except this one requires no watering and does not die.

The Silver Orchid Collection takes the Orchid Collection's signature motif — purity, grace, the delicate layered structure of the bloom itself — and renders it in nickelplate with white enamel over the petals and a white marble base that anchors the sculpture in a material with its own quiet significance. At 22" tall it is large enough to function as a room's focal point without competing with furniture. The stem rises from the marble base with the natural asymmetry of a growing plant; the blooms are positioned with the precision of someone who has looked at the actual flower long enough to understand how the petals hold.

Each Silver Orchid Stem Sculpture is handcrafted individually in Michael Aram's New Delhi workshop. The slight variation in surface and enamel between pieces is the signature of the process, not a flaw. It is the most expensive piece in the Orchid range, and the most permanent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should the Silver Orchid Stem Sculpture be placed?
Anywhere a real orchid would go — a dining table centrepiece, an entryway console, a mantel, a side table. At 22" tall it has the presence to anchor a space on its own without additional styling.

How does this differ from the Silver Orchid Stem Sculpture Small?
The Large is 22" tall overall; the Small is smaller in scale for tighter spaces or secondary placement. Both use the same nickelplate, white enamel, and white marble construction.

Is it dishwasher safe or water safe?
No. Wipe the nickelplate stem and blooms with a soft damp cloth only. The marble base wipes clean. Do not soak or expose to prolonged moisture.

Is this a significant gift?
Yes — at this scale and price it is a landmark gift for a wedding, a milestone anniversary, a new home, or a significant occasion. Ships in original Michael Aram packaging.
