Description from the seller
Naturalia Wonder and Modern Design
This carved Busicon shell, mounted on a wooden base, is a perfect fusion of nature’s charm and the elegance of modern design. The shell’s structure, with its sinuous and perforated forms revealing its hidden architectural essence, creates a fascinating interplay of voids and solids, giving it a sculptural appearance. Its ivory color with warm shades and natural veins enhances its delicacy, making it a true work of natural art.
The wooden base, with its minimalist and essential design, provides a stable and refined support, creating a harmonious contrast between the shell’s lightness and the solidity of the natural material. This makes it a perfect piece for collectors, wunderkammer enthusiasts, and interior design lovers.
A unique decorative element, capable of enhancing any environment, from contemporary homes to spaces that celebrate the beauty of Naturalia and natural wonders reinterpreted in an artistic way.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
