1850s Pair of Floral Seashell Dioramas in a Glass Dome
About the Item
An exquisite pair of floral dioramas, crafted with a meticulous composition of seashells, conch shells, and mother-of-pearl, arranged in the form of three-dimensional floral bouquets. These delicate creations are protected under blown glass domes with wooden bases, enhancing their beauty and lending an air of antiquity and sophistication.
Each diorama showcases a unique combination of marine elements, with shells of varying sizes, colors, and textures, recreating the appearance of a lush, naturalistic bouquet.
