Michael Aram, one of LCR's Signature Brands

Michael Aram, who founded his company in the late 1980’s, is an American-born artist. He uses traditional metalworking techniques, which he learned about on a trip to India, to create distinctive objects for the home. His work reflects who he is as an artist. With everything from tableware to furniture, each piece is a functional piece of art.

Michael Aram’s work has always been very well-appreciated in our shop. The extensive range of products allows his work to easily mix well with any décor, traditional or contemporary; and gift-giving is made simple with the beauty and uniqueness of each piece by Michael Aram.


One of our favorite collections that is popular here in New England is the Bark & Branch collection. Including everything from photo frames and vases to flatware and serving pieces to larger furniture pieces, the collection features metals such as goldplate, nickelplate, and oxidized bronze. A collection of each of the three Bark Vases in varying heights makes a stunning centerpiece for the dining table. Or display your favorite photo in one of the Twig Photo Frames, or entertain guests with the Bark Ice Bucket & Twig Tongs. The design reflects an element of nature, and since each piece is hand-sculpted, no two are exactly alike.


Some of the latest products by Michael Aram are also among of the most popular. The Black Orchid collection combines black nickelplate with stainless steel to create unique serving pieces and decorative objects. New additions to the Olive Branch collection are popular items as well. Give the Wine Coaster & Stopper Set as a gift, or use the Olive Branch Canisters in your own kitchen. Made of stainless steel and oxidized bronze, they are timeless, unique pieces that are sure to be appreciated by any recipient.


A popular registry brand, Aram’s work appeals to today’s modern bride. The Garland Collection reflects the beauty of romance. The 8 x 10 Garland Frame, or the Garland Toasting Flutes, make the perfect gift to give a bride as an heirloom to remember such a special event.

Michael Aram’s work is one of LCR’s most popular brands, and will always be a mainstay in our shop, and we have enjoyed watching the line grow and expand to what it is today.
