Vintage Baroque Sea Life Arrangements in the Manner of Tony Duquette

About the Item

These incredible Baroque style arrangements were made most likely in the late 1950s. They appear to have been made by the great artist, jewelry designer, set decorator and decorator Tony Duquette. The arrangements are based within turned and polychrome wooden urns that rest on marble bases. The arrangements are a match left and right pair that issue from elaborately conceived shell ornaments that center on a large cut and faceted crystal amber colored round brilliant jewel that has above it dangling down from a real natural amber bead faux seed pearls in descending order of sizes. Worked in among these shells and jewels are miniature glass sea life ornaments. Rising from this section natural and painted sea fans extend upwards and these fans are decorated with many dangling faux seed pearls and further cut crystal jewels and rhinestone ornaments all strung on gilded wire. The centerpiece of each ornament is a small poly-chrome actual lobster done in rich lacquered shades of green and coral reds onto the fans spreading surface fully articulated.
