The Soliflore Vase - Oxidized Brass
Made in Japan, this herbarium vase adds a romantic touch to any desk or bedside table. Dried flowers can be placed inside the glass dome and are supported by the shiny brass stand. This piece is a nod to the 18th-century plant specimen collections and the human desire to preserve what is fleeting. Includes a brass tag that can be twisted around your "specimen."

Usage & Entretien
Raw brass, crafted in Japan
Each PICUS piece is crafted in Japan by brass artisans. No varnish or clear coating: the metal reacts to air, hands, and time, darkening and polishing, and two identical objects always end up distinct. Simple objects for the home and office, designed to last.
THE PICUS EXPERTISE
What makes these objects unique
Made of solid brass
The parts are crafted from solid brass by Japanese artisans. A dense, straightforward metal that catches the light.
No varnish
The surface is not fixed by a transparent treatment: the air and the oil from the hands darken the metal, giving it more character.
Patina, the signature of time
Stripes and reflections create a unique surface. Two identical objects always end up standing out from each other.
Useful items
Trays, card holders, key holders, paperweights: simple shapes that fit perfectly on a desk or in an entryway.
The spirit of travel from days gone by
Luggage tags, hotel keys, engraved clips: PICUS draws inspiration from the world of trains and grand hotels.
An open interview
You can polish it to restore the original gold color, or let time darken the metal. Both stay true to the brand's spirit.
