FEDERICO BUCCELLATI
Natural Marine Shell Mounted in Silver, Italy, 20th century
Height x width x depth: 3 x 8.5 x 5 cm. Weight: 30.5 g.
sElegant ornamental object composed of a natural marine shell, probably belonging to the Volutidae family and tentatively attributable to the genus Melo spp., mounted within a finely crafted custom-made silver setting that faithfully follows the natural contours of the shell while leaving its interior fully visible.
The silver mount completely encases the exterior surface of the shell, accurately reproducing its longitudinal ribs and anatomical form, while the aperture remains uncovered, highlighting the naturally glossy interior with its brownish-pink and mother-of-pearl iridescent tones.
Silver 999/1000, hallmarked "999 - 1169 MI - FEDERICO BUCCELLATI".
