About the Item

An exquisite decorative composition consisting of a large natural scallop shell, which acts as a bowl for a delicate array of conch shells, corals, and authentic marine elements, arranged with aesthetic harmony and artisanal flair. The ensemble is presented on a gilded Baroque pedestal with a veined green onyx base, lending a classic and ornamental feel to the work. The upper shell features a rich and balanced arrangement of marine elements, including limestone corals, pearly shells, striated mollusks, and varied textures in shades of cream, ivory, rose, and sienna. This combination offers a natural counterpoint to the architecturally inspired support with gilded moldings, reminiscent of Corinthian capitals and 18th-century religious or decorative furniture design. Perfect as an accent piece on display cabinets, side tables, or sideboards, this piece fuses the charm of the natural world with the sophistication of the Baroque artistic tradition.
