  • Ceramic Vase, Moor Man Head with Lemons

    €960.00

    Ceramic vase, male Moor's head with representation of beautiful yellow lemons, made entirely by hand in Sicily - Italy.

    Handcrafted in ceramic, double firing and hand painted.

    The Moors were members of the Muslim people of North Africa, of mixed Arab and Berber origin. In the 8th century they were converted to Islam and established power in North Africa, Sicily and Spain, where they established a civilization (756-1492).

    THE LEGEND :

    During the Arab domination in Sicily, in the city of Palermo there was an Arab suburb called "La Kalsa".

    In this small suburb lived a beautiful young woman who spent her time tending to the flowers on her balcony.

    One day a young Moor was walking under the lady's balcony. He noticed the beauty of the young lady and he fell in love with her.

    He did not wait a minute to declare his love and the beautiful young girl, impressed by the audacity of the lover, quickly experienced the same love.

    Unfortunately, the young Moor was already married and had several children ... as soon as the young woman found out that he could leave to find his family, one day she waited for night and killed him while he slept soundly. She cut off his head and used it as a vase for her plants so she could have him forever by her side.

    As the beauty of this vase was remarkable, the whole neighborhood wanted to own a similar one.

    From this moment, the creation of vases in the shape of the heads of Moors began...

  • Sea Fan on Brass Crab Base H43cm

    €280.00
    Brass crab wearing a real Philippine gorgonian.
    Black brass base.
    Gorgonians, like corals, are animals living in the form of sessile colonial polyps, organized in a tree structure. Each polyp has 8 tentacles which filter the plankton and consume it.
    The general structure, a skeleton both flexible and hard, called gorgonine do not grow towards the sun (it does not require light to develop) but perpendicular to the current, so as to filter a maximum of water flow.
  • Shells in a Glass Globe H30cm

    This same shell also exists in orange and purple in our curiosities.

  • Red and Yellow Gorgon, Brass Base H30cm

    €270.00

    A red and yellow gorgon on a brass base.

    It grows sheltered from the sun's rays in areas between 10 and 300 meters deep. Where no one sees its vibrant colors. Their color is of course natural.

    Attached perpendicular to their support, the colonized polyp branches filter the water with the current to capture the micro-organisms in suspension.

  • Tridacna Derasa Clam on Wooden Stand

    €1,560.00

    Tridacna Derasa clam on a black wooden stand.

    A magnificent unique piece, a rarity!

    Very beautiful Tridacna Derasa holy water font presented on a custom-made wooden stand. Its two faces are remarkable.

      A black wooden base supports and delicately presents this shell.

    The famous giant clam, the world's largest species of bivalve shell that has always spawned legends of divers held underwater between its mighty shells.

    Of course, it is a young Tridacna Derasa, but this subspecies generally does not exceed 60cm. Its growth at the start is about 5cm per year then it will increase to 3cm per year.

    It is therefore not a very young clam.

    Like most giant clams, this species is in danger because it is over-harvested, either for its flesh in Asia, or as decorative shellfish.

    This one comes from a farm in Micronesia which hopes to succeed in regenerating the local population.

    Width (cm): 22.00

    Height (cm): 31.00

    Depth (cm): 24.00

    THE LEGEND :
    During the Arab rule in Sicily, in the city of Palermo there was an Arab suburb called "La Kalsa".
    In this small suburb there lived a beautiful young woman who spent her time taking care of the flowers on her balcony.
    One day, a young Moor was walking under the lady's balcony. He noticed the beauty of the young lady and he fell in love with her.
    He did not wait a minute to declare his love and the beautiful young girl, impressed by the lover's audacity, quickly felt the same love.
    Unfortunately, the young Moor was already married and was the father of several children... as soon as the young woman discovered that he might leave to find his family one day, she waited until nightfall and killed him while he was sound asleep. She cut off his head and used it as a vase for her plants so that she could have him by her side forever.
    As the beauty of this vase was remarkable, the whole neighborhood wanted to own one like it.
    From this moment, the creation of vases in the shape of Moorish heads began...
