Worthy of a cabinet of curiosities, this shell mounted on gilded bronze pays homage to the aesthetic curiosities of Renaissance collectors. Thanks to the scientific discoveries of the time, the greats of the world discovered the wonders of nature from mysterious countries. In the 19th century, the expansion of the colonies gave a boost to this enthusiasm for natural and exotic wonders. Here, a superb shell rubs shoulders with other treasures from the sea: red coral and a beautifully pearly pearl. The set primed in a Louis XV style bronze mount is in very good condition.
