About the Item

A decorative piece with an artistic and naturalistic spirit, formed by a vertical assembly of authentic marine elements: a large mottled cone shell (probably Conus textile), a lavender-colored pearly-textured sea urchin, and a wide base of spiny white sea urchin, all arranged with sculptural balance on a Baroque-style gilded wooden pedestal richly carved with scrolls and plant motifs. The composition evokes an organic, oceanic-inspired totem, where the contrast between the natural geometry of the urchins and the polished texture of the upper shell produces a striking visual effect. The gilded base lends a classic and sophisticated air, establishing a dialogue between the ornamental and the natural. Perfect as an object of curiosity or a focal piece in display cases, sideboards, cabinets, or eclectic collections, this work conveys an aesthetic somewhere between the exotic, the scientific, and the decorative.
