Butterfly Ginko Frame
The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree , the Ginkgo Biloba, or "Butterfly Ginkgo", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with hand etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of the handcrafted process, capturing the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work.
"The first time I saw this tree, it literally looked like it had been completely overtaken by butterflies... as if they would all take flight the moment I walked too close or made a noise. The idea that the leaves could evoke the beauty of butterflies was magical to me, like trees that can metamorphose from flora to fauna in the blink of an eye.

Care Instructions
Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth (microfiber is ideal) to gently remove dust from the frame. Avoid using water, sprays, or cleaning solutions, as they may damage the metal or finish. Metal Details: If your frame has brass, copper, or other metal elements, do not submerge or wet them. Simply dust with a soft cloth or use a soft-bristled brush to reach crevices. Polishing: For polished metal surfaces, use only a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or chemicals that could scratch or discolor the finish. Display Tips: Keep frames away from direct sunlight, high humidity, or extreme temperature changes to prevent tarnishing or warping. Handling: Always handle frames by the edges, not the decorative surfaces, to avoid fingerprints or accidental scratches.
