Originally designed as architectural appliqués or large furniture feet, their substantial weight and rich golden patina also make them striking as heavy-duty bookends or unique standalone sculptures. The highly polished but aged brass surface showcases deep striations, capturing the organic beauty of the natural shell form while elevating it with a sense of Hollywood Regency opulence and Coastal charm.


Their versatile size and enduring material make them ideal for adding sophisticated texture and weight to a bookshelf, desk, or console table in a high-end interior. Each piece presents in excellent vintage condition, displaying a warm, aged patina with minor oxidation and scuffs appropriate to the metal's age—qualities highly desired by collectors. Each shell measures 7.25 inches wide, 6.5 inches deep, and stands 3.5 inches tall. This elegant pair provides a sophisticated nautical accent that will instantly enrich your collection of brass decorative arts. See less
