Windswept Wire Bonsai Sculpture by C. Jeré
Windswept Wire Bonsai Sculpture by C. Jeré
Rooted in design history
This piece channels two different styles at once. You get the strict, clean lines of Japanese minimalism, but also the flowing energy of Californian modernism. Designed by C. Jeré in the 60s. It’s a windswept bonsai sculpture that perfectly captures movement. Every wire branch looks like it’s leaning into an invisible gust of wind.. The rough onyx base anchors the piece, creating a beautiful tension with the delicate metal lines.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
