Worthy of a cabinet of curiosity, this shell mounted on gilt bronze pays tribute to the aesthetic curiosities of Renaissance collectors. With the scientific discoveries of the time, the world's great and good discovered the wonders of nature from mysterious lands. In the 19th century, the expansion of the colonies gave a new impetus to this craze for natural and exotic wonders. Here, a superb shell rubs shoulders with other treasures from the sea: red coral and pearls beautifully pearly. The whole set in a Louis XV style bronze frame is in very good condition.
