Item Details

An early 20th-century shell-encrusted vessel, later converted to a table lamp. The urn-form body is densely decorated with an arrangement of natural shells, including scallops, cowries and other marine specimens, creating a richly textured and highly decorative surface.


The composition differs front and back, with each side centred around a distinct arrangement of larger shells set amongst layers of smaller specimens.


In good condition, with some age-related wear. Professionally rewired and PAT tested, and finished with a bespoke soft white linen shade.


H 73cm, W (shade) 31cm, W (base) 21cm
