Michael Aram Butterfly Ginkgo Gold Candleholders S/2

The Butterfly Ginkgo Gold Candleholders S/2 are the most celebratory object in Michael Aram's Butterfly Ginkgo range — solid brass, hand-etched with the cocoon-shaped vessels and double ginkgo leaf forms that define the collection, finished in 24K goldplate and set in pairs at 8.25"L × 7.75"W × 3.75"H. Place them at the centre of a dining table, on a mantel flanking a mirror, or on a sideboard as a permanent installation. They hold standard 0.75" taper candles and cast a warmth at the dinner table that the metalwork only intensifies.

The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection takes its story from the ginkgo biloba — the maidenhair tree whose double leaf Michael Aram read as a butterfly wing, and whose survival through geological time he understood as an emblem of transformation and resilience. These candleholders render that story in its most opulent form: solid brass, acid-etched by hand, goldplated, cast individually in his New Delhi workshop. The slight surface variation between pairs is not a quality deviation; it's the signature of the hand-casting process that defines all Michael Aram metalwork.
