Item Description

Gorgeous 14" round highly polished stainless steel platter in Michael Aram's signature "molten metal" treatment, which adds elegant texture and accent to this stunning piece.  Enhanced with a poppy stem detail along approximately half of the 2 inch lip.  Includes an authenticity certificate.

Michael Aram is an American born artist who works primarily in metal. After studying fine art and living as an artist in New York in the late 1980's, Aram took what would later be a life-altering trip to India where he discovered rich metalworking traditions. Inspired to work with craftsmen whose skills he felt were greatly untapped, Aram turned his creative energies towards craft based design, setting up a home and workshop in New Delhi. 

Aram's work reflects humanity through the directness of the handmade process, as each piece is lovingly made using age old traditional techniques. Bridging the gap between the artist and artisan is a hallmark of Michael Aram's work. Whether in his narrative and figurative "signature" collection, or in his more contemporary 'studio' line, each piece is entirely handmade with no two examples ever exactly the same. The handmade quality of the work allows it to shift beautifully between the realm of fine and decorative art. This enduring melange of quality and originality sits comfortably at home in contemporary as well as in more classical interiors.
