Hector Guimard "Chalmont" Glazed Ceramic Planter
SOLD
$7,500
Graduating from deep earthen green, to a bright golden hue, the outside of this planter by Hector Guimard, known as "Chalmont," features four robust, sinuous arm like lineaments replete with naturalistic ribbing and shallow rippling. The interior of this dynamic ceramic is a cheerful electric blue that both brightens and adds to the excitement of this kinetic composition.
