An exceptional pair of large shell-encrusted urns distinguished by their remarkable craftsmanship, scale, and visual impact. Entirely covered in an intricate arrangement of natural shells, coral fragments, and marine elements, each urn has been meticulously assembled to create a richly textured surface with extraordinary depth and character. The composition is layered and highly dimensional, revealing new details from every angle. Topped with removable lids and crowned by sculptural coral-form finials, the urns possess a strong architectural presence while celebrating the natural beauty of the materials from which they are made. Their substantial scale and intricate construction distinguish them from the decorative shellwork more commonly encountered today. Beautifully executed and increasingly difficult to find, this pair exemplifies shellwork at its most ambitious and refined. Sold as a pair.
