Combined here with a gleaming clamshell and a cluster of natural crystal, this heavy piece gives the impression of a shell lying atop coral in a bold sculpture large enough to act as a table centerpiece. Signed on a small oval plaque and marked Made in France. Circa 1970s, gilt bronze, measuring approximately 16 inches long, 9 inches wide, and 10 3/4 inches tall; shipping price is due to the weight of this piece. See less
