AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Natural Shell Silver Plated — This beautiful natural shell of the species Murex Ramosus has undergone a galvanization process that covered its surface with a bright silver coating. The result is a fascinating meeting between nature and precious metal, transforming a marine relic into a unique and contemporary design object. The complex and jagged shapes typical of the Murex are enhanced by the gloss of the metallic coating, highlighting the organic lines with elegant and modern reflections. Each specimen is different, since each shell is unique in shape and size: this makes each piece unrepeatable and authentic. Perfect as a collectible item, decorative element for sophisticated interiors, or as a refined gift idea, this object fuses natural aesthetics and artisanal craftsmanship in a combination with a strong visual impact. Features: Species: Chicoreus Ramosus (Murex Ramosus) Material: Natural shell with galvanic silver coating Technique: Electrolytic bath (galvanization) Use: Collecting, decoration, gift, artistic ornament Origin of the shell: Indo-Pacific Ocean Dimensions: 142*110*100 mm
