Orchid (Gilded)

$295

A phalaenopsis in a white pot has been the standard gesture of good taste for thirty years — which is exactly why this one goes the other direction. The form is faithful: six blooms and a spray of unopened buds stepping down an arching stem, each flower with the broad lateral petals and small central column the species is known for. The color is not faithful at all.

Every petal is worked black first, then gilded — metallic laid over the dark ground in irregular patches so it breaks and pools at the edges rather than covering evenly. Where it thins, the near-black shows through; where it catches light, the whole flower changes. Centers are finished in deep oxblood, and the buds at the tip are formed individually and left closed.

Signature Series pieces are Julia’s own inventions — botanicals that don’t exist, made with the same techniques as the ones that do. Deliberately dramatic, and best against a dark or plain background where the metallic can do its work. It holds its finish indefinitely and asks for nothing.

Materials & Making

Every piece is built from premium German and Italian crepe paper — hand-dyed, hand-painted, and shaped petal by petal. Stems are wired throughout, so each piece can be bent, angled, and arranged as you like, and holds its shape once set.

A multi-step protective finish seals the color, adds a subtle luster, and guards against fading and humidity. Because every piece is colored by hand, tones vary slightly from the photograph — no two are identical, and yours will be its own.


Ready to Ship

This piece is finished and waiting. Each is made individually by hand, so yours will closely match — though not perfectly duplicate — the photograph. Allow 3–7 days from the date your order is confirmed with Julia for final inspection, packaging, and dispatch; shipping transit adds approximately 5–7 days.

If your order also includes made-to-order pieces, this piece ships right away rather than waiting — commissioned work follows separately once complete. Each shipment is billed separately for shipping and handling. Prefer a single shipment? Let us know and we’ll hold everything until the full order is ready.

Finished with a tag signed and dated by Julia, nested in tissue, and boxed for safe travel. Preparation & Delivery


Care & Repairs

Though delicate in appearance, each piece is remarkably durable and may be bent and arranged as needed. Keep out of prolonged direct sun and damp environments, and your piece will hold its color and form for decades. Because every piece is made by hand to order, all sales are final. Should a piece ever be damaged, Julia will repair it whenever repair is possible, for the life of the piece — you cover shipping and handling. Guarantee & Repairs
