Description from the seller
Exclusive furnishing element with exclusive charm.
A splendid Solaris Solaris shell from the Philippines, mounted on an elegant turned brass base, with its concentric whorls, captures our attention with its hypnotic charm.
Xenophoridae, commonly known as shell bearers or carrier shells, are a family of marine gastropods that are very interesting.
The species Xenophora solaris, sometimes also called Solaris solaris, is one of these unique shells.
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.
