This breathtaking 2-foot-tall seashell obelisk is a true showstopper of Victorian-style shellwork, reminiscent of the souvenirs and curiosities crafted in seaside resorts and convalescent homes during the 19th century. Each side features meticulous rosettes of coquinas, layered scallops, and central accent shells—creating a floral-like pattern that spirals upward with architectural drama.
Crafted on a sturdy metal base and adorned with alternating bands of natural shells and seed pods, this piece is perfect for a coastal salon, mantel, or cabinet of curiosities. Rare at this size and with this level of detail, it’s a centerpiece for the serious collector or interior designer.
Details:
- Height: Approx. 24”
- Constructed with hundreds of natural shells
- Mid 20th century, in the style of 19th-century Victorian shellwork
