A monumental 13” spider conch, reinterpreted as a sculptural object through the application of hand-laid silver leaf. The shell’s dramatic, radiating form—defined by elongated spines and a deeply contoured body—reads as both natural artifact and contemporary design.
The exterior has been finished in silver leaf, chosen for its subtle variation and depth, allowing the surface to respond to light with a soft, nuanced reflectivity. The interior remains in its original state, revealing warm, peach-toned nacre that contrasts elegantly with the cool metallic finish.
This is not an electroplated surface, but an intentionally artisanal application; slight tonal variation and texture are inherent to the process and contribute to the individuality of the piece.
Presented as a standalone object, it functions as a statement in restraint—equally at home in a coastal setting or within a more minimal, collected interior.

This is a natural shell and may show inherent variations such as surface texture shifts, small natural blemishes, irregularities, and organic markings consistent with its origin. These are not flaws but part of the shell’s authentic character. Silvered finish is applied by hand and may show subtle variations that enhance its artisanal, one-of-a-kind quality. less
