Each vessel is dominated by a large spherical body finished in a smoky charcoal-gray stain, its surface incised with hundreds of fine concentric grooves that create a subtle, tactile ribbing and a soft, silken sheen. A stack of crisp black ridged collars forms the neck, capped by a polished rich mahogany ring that provides a rounded, jewel-like transition. Above it, a flared crown of pale blond wood erupts in a wild, live-edge silhouette, with ruffled, jagged petals, open cracks, and lively grain that glows like honey against the darker body. Each sphere rests on a four-tiered stepped plinth of warm reddish-brown hardwood with clean, architectural edges, lending ziggurat-like stability. The contrast of matte gray, glossy mahogany, and unfinished-looking blond timber makes each urn feel both refined and untamed, and the pair mirrors beautifully.

Flank a fireplace, frame a grand entryway, or anchor the corners of a double-height living room, where their scale can command attention. They suit Organic Modern, Postmodern, Contemporary, Japandi, and Mid-Century Modern interiors. To care for them, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, wipe gently with a barely damp cloth if needed, and avoid harsh cleaners, direct sun, and humidity swings that can stress the wood. Measurements: each urn is 22 inches wide, 22 inches deep, and 47.25 inches high. Condition is excellent, with an original wood finish and a well-developed patina. Make this striking pair the sculptural centerpiece of your home today. See less
