Very nice sea urchin on a cubic base.

This species of sea urchin can measure up to 12 cm in diameter.

It can be a beautiful dark purple with often the tips of the prickles white.

It feeds on algae that it grazes on the rocks between the surface and 100 m depth in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

This specimen with its prickles comes from the Italian coast of Liguria.

Beautiful reproduction of a branch coral made of orange-red resin on a base. Presented on a black and gold base embellished with natural rock crystals.

Coral is actually an animal of the Cnidarian phylum. Corals generally live in colonies of individuals called “polyps” which are “superorganisms”. Each polyp secretes its own exoskeleton; depending on the species, this exoskeleton is hard or soft.

Our collection of corals in synthetic material is handcrafted, reproducing identically the texture of these living specimens, most of which are now protected.

The Bride and Groom Globe was originally intended to collect the wreath of orange flowers worn by the bride on the wedding day.

Fashionable in the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century, this oval glass bell could also contain other wedding souvenirs in order to protect them from dust and oblivion.

With its quilted canvas cushion, its 2 antique mirrors and its symbolic decorations (the vine leaves, symbol of the union of the feminine and masculine, or the bird, symbol of peace and love), our Wedding Globe will present your wonders or protect jewelry and collections of your choice.

Bright red Gorgon on brass base

Its color is incredible, but completely natural. We managed to preserve the beauty of this gorgon, even on your console! It comes from Micronesia, Melithaea ochracea-

Red gorgonians (Acabaria biserialis) line the rocky slopes between 20 and 100 meters deep. It is necessary to use a flashlight to appreciate their brilliance, because at this depth, the red appears dark blue.

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

A very beautiful decorative object.

12 magnificent bird-winged butterflies in a capsule globe.

The most common bird-winged butterfly - Ornithoptera Priamus - is actually not so common, because it is only found in a few small islands in the Pacific: Papua New Guinea, Southern Moluccas, Solomon Islands...

Islands where their forests diminish year after year under the influence of men. 

This is why this protected species will be delivered with a CITES. 

Only the males have these bright colors, the females are even larger, but brown in color. 

They are so remarkable that our specimens now come from a farm in Indonesia.

Red gorgon on a brass base.

Red gorgonians (Acabaria biserialis) line the rocky slopes between 20 and 100 meters deep. It is necessary to use a flashlight to appreciate their brilliance, because at this depth, the red appears dark blue.

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

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.

A very beautiful decorative object.

Anamorphosis Napoleon Bonaparte under Globe

Anamorphosis was born from the work on perspective by Piero della Francesca, a Florentine painter and mathematician of the Quattrocento.

This Art of secret perspective allows, thanks to a “trompe-l’oeil” technique, to create an impression of reality by restoring a 3rd dimension.

We were inspired by this technique to create Anamorphoses-Butterflies: at first glance, the eye is charmed by a colorful and poetic flight of butterflies... then suddenly, the unexpected image springs out and reveals itself to the viewer and doubles it perception appears.

In reality, a master painting serves as a motif for the butterflies, while the butterfly recreates a master painting...

Presented under a glass globe, so that this anamorphosis does not disperse on your walls!
