Nautilus On Stand, Polished

One of the most majestic of shells. Drop-dead gorgeous. A creature that buoyantly floats in the world’s oceans, and builds a shell that has become a symbol for beauty and symmetry. Nautilus shells were rare, and when found centuries ago were mounted on extravagant bases and used as gifts of state, rarities collected by royals, as well as to serve highly ceremonial drinks. The perfection of the curving lines of its multi-chambered spiral is known to all. Decadent and still extremely beautiful, what better combination? Our classic hand turned and carved spiral mahogany stand complements an object that was worth a fortune only a few hundred years ago.
