Description from the seller
A stunning mother-of-pearl Nautilus resting on a handcrafted wooden base that allows it to be displayed as a design or collectible piece, without compromising its charm or diverting attention from the main subject.
Since the early 1600s, Nautilus shells have been objects of research, study, and collection. In fact, it is very easy to find in photographs depicting the Wunderkammer of the era some Nautilus shells mounted on extravagant bases and often adorned with silver elements.
Nautilus Dimension: 138 x 181 x 96 mm
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.
