Michael Aram - Black Orchid Nut Dish

What a stunning nut dish!  The Black Orchid Collection was inspired by the powerful sensuality of orchids and the rich ambiance of haute couture – strikingly simple yet full of the most extreme detail – like the dark, velvety atmosphere of a luxurious evening.
 
"There is something so seductive about orchids.  In blackened nickel, they are even more sublime, like a woman wearing a black velvet gown floating through a great estate or a glassy urban high-rise.  The dark atmosphere of the orchids against the hammered metal is like the afterglow of a beautiful evening." ~ Michael Aram
