About the Item

Paris Console 2 Brazilian agate is revered around the world for its clarity and color. In Studio Greytak’s Paris Console 2 a bookended pair of icy blue agates are set atop a mirror finish of polished bronze like summer clouds floating above a clear glacial lake. Fiery bronze frames the agates and connects them to a swirling cabinet of walnut burl. Inside, rich leather lines two thin drawers that mirror the paired slices of stone featured above. Both functional art and museum-like display, this piece brings emotional, physical, and intellectual balance to any space. Brazilian agate is considered some of the best agate in the world. When lava reaches Earth’s surface, it bubbles as it cools forming pockets of air. Over centuries, water trickles through fractures in the rock, depositing silica gel on the cavity walls which hardens into concentric bands. Changes in the water’s mineral composition create different layers and colors. Agates have a slow vibrational frequency, which makes them very calming. For centuries they have been used to protect mothers and children during pregnancy and to cleanse and stabilize auras. Brazilian agate, in particular, balances physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual energy, bringing calm, strength, focus, confidence, and positivity. Ancient Sumerians used copper- and tin-rich rocks to build campfire rings. As the stones became heated, the metals melted and mixed, forming bronze. This world-changing metal brought tools, weapons, armor, building materials, and a new sense of value to the ancient world. It is often associated with fire because of its reddish color. As an alloy of copper and tin, bronze takes on the properties of both but is generally thought to enhance courage and practicality and encourage focus on work. It is also thought to be good luck for warriors. When a tree undergoes stress like an injury, virus, or insect infestation, the growth hormones are disrupted, and the grain grows into strange bulges that, on the inside, produce the most interesting and colorful patterns. These are called burls. Walnut burl is particularly valuable as no two pieces will ever be alike. Guitar makers love walnut burl for both its beauty and acoustic properties. Gun stock makers appreciate the consistent strength it brings. Artists have turned to walnut burl for everything from bowls, clocks, and bars to the interiors of the world’s finest cars and yachts. Like all walnut wood, it brings clarity, focus, wisdom, and inspiration. Place this piece in a beloved place where it will keep balance and positivity in even the most trying of times.
