Michael Aram Pine Cone Wood Triple BowlThe Pine Cone Collection, with its antique gold and darkened bronze patinas, celebrates the glow and warmth of the holiday season. Inspired by a fallen pinecone kept on his desk, Aram has always been intrigued by pinecones and their ancient symbolism. The Greeks and Romans, as well as other cultures throughout history, have incorporated pinecones in their art, religious beliefs and mythology with common themes of regeneration, wisdom, and renewal.
