Description from the seller

Pleuroploca Trapezium shell.
Marine shell of trapezoidal shape characterized by a notched edge.
The wooden base on which it is mounted serves as a support for the upper part, providing a stable support, allowing the lower part to remain suspended in the air thanks to the brass elements.
An elegant and sophisticated decorative object that can be used to enhance any room in the house, from the living room to the bedroom, adding a touch of the sea and nature.

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.
