Ginkgo Sconce

DESCRIPTION

I was inspired by the Ginkgo Biloba tree, one of the oldest tree species in the world. In Asian culture, the Ginkgo tree holds symbolism of eternity and hope, being the sole survivor of the Hiroshima bombing. The Ginkgo Biloba is revered as a sacred tree that embodies duality, representing the masculine and feminine, the visible and invisible, the yin and yang.
Each piece in this collection is unique and is meticulously handcrafted from cast brass by skilled artisans in Madrid, directed by myself.

Each piece is meticulously crafted using organic materials, seamlessly blending time-honored traditions with contemporary techniques. Our discerning clientele and collectors understand, endorse, and appreciate the deliberate imperfections inherent in our creations. Veronica Mar does not accept returns, claims, or bear responsibility for these intentional flaws, as they constitute an essential part of my artistic vision and ethos. These intentional imperfections include, but are not confined to:

  • The organic occurrence of wood cracking, a natural response to seasonal climates and environmental conditions over time.
  • The inherent irregularities and natural formations found in items sculpted from stone or other mineral materials.
  • In cast brass, certain marks may appear due to the porosity that occurs during the metal casting process.
  • Deliberate imperfections, including purposefully created marks in handcrafted metalwork pieces, especially in corten steel, which tends to oxidize and exhibit non-uniform characteristics.
