Hugely Impressive Antique Giant Clam Shell
About the Item
Purchased from a private Parisian collection this wonderful example of a giant clam shell (tridacna gigas) is a real feast for the eyes. Created by mother nature and sought after the world over for interior decoration this particular piece would work wonderfully well in a display setting either by itself or perhaps to hold a chilled bottle of champagne or a beautiful fruit display. Due to the size and weight of this piece we estimate it to date from around 1700 and is most likely from the South Pacific in origin. If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to get in touch. Please see also our additional photos and video which I hope will give you a real sense of the style quality and scale of this natural specimen.
