Description from the seller
Container with Fossil Marble Lid – Ancient and Geological Elegance
Beautiful container with a lid made entirely of natural marble rich in fossil sediments, a sedimentary limestone formed millions of years ago and characterized by the presence of fossilized remains of mollusks and other marine organisms.
The rounded and harmonious shape of the body combines with a domed cover topped by a sculpted knob carved from the same block of stone, creating a compact, solid ensemble with a great visual impact. The surfaces are perfectly smoothed, enhancing the natural texture of the rock, with inclusions and patterns that tell an ancient story engraved in the material.
The warm and earthy color, with shades ranging from beige to caramel and darker fossil inserts, makes this object a refined and unique decorative element, perfect for elegant environments, naturalist studios, geological curiosity collections, or classic and wabi-sabi style furnishings.
This container can be used as a storage box, a pocket emptier, or simply as a display furnishing, a silent witness to past geological eras.
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.
