AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A decorative element of extraordinary refinement, perfect for an 18th-century wunderkammer. A Nautilus Pompilius, whose outer surface gleams with mother-of-pearl shades, reflecting light in delicate iridescent waves. This Nautilus has been mounted on a wooden base.
The real surprise is revealed inside its 'mouth'. Here, instead of remaining empty, the space has been filled with a series of transparent quartz crystals, each cut to a point and arranged in such a way that they seem to be growing directly from the mother-of-pearl itself. These crystal points, clear as icy water, create an almost magical effect. The contrast between the smooth, opalescent surface of the Nautilus and the sharp, geometric shapes of the crystals gives the object an aura of mystery and charm.

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.
