DESCRIPTION
Centerpiece with conch and dragons. Possibly Italian, XX century.
Natural conch mounted in silver 925 punched.
Coral applications in the eyes.
Measurements: 23 x 44 x 29 cm.
Ornamental centerpiece made from a large natural shell, mounted on a rich structure of 925 silver. The piece combines the organic effect of the shell with an elaborate sculptural decoration of oriental inspiration, formed by dragons in relief, zoomorphic legs and coral details in the eyes.
The contrast between the mother-of-pearl surface of the shell and the meticulous work of the silver gives the whole an exotic and decorative presence. The dragons reinforce the fantastic character of the piece and place it within the taste for precious objects of oriental inspiration.
The presence of the 925 hallmark confirms the quality of the silver mount, increasing the interest of this piece as a singular tabletop object.
