hammered and patinated copper and brass, white gold leaf
Paying a touching tribute to the destroyed tombs from the Palmyra necropolis, Hervé Wahlen’s “Les Maisons” is a seven-piece set of unique sculptures. As mystery boxes, each sculpture is built around a clever hidden mechanism and then further enhanced with white gold leaf. Each “house” from this contemporary yet timeless collection can open and unravel its secrets like an intriguing treasure.
