About the Item
19th century unique Folk Art Guernsey shell diorama display

With a poem insert named “Ocean Flowers” signed in pencil Aug 29th, 1882, and Guernsey. Filled with sea plants and wonderful selection of shells. This wall mounted display would look wonderful in a country house setting. A complete one-off piece of nautical Folk Art in completely untouched form and original condition.
