Coral Cup on Base (empty or garnished)
€320.00Magnificent reproduction of a cup made of a flat mushroom coral called "Lithophyllon Repanda", mounted on a 19th century style sandstone base.
Can be ordered garnished with natural coral fragments under the reference OD1194/2.
The OD1194/2 coral bowl presented here garnished with a composition of natural coral fragments for a “Still Life” bouquet in the Naturalia style.
The coral fragments are natural, as for the cut, it is a reproduction in synthetic material, and can be purchased empty under the reference OD1194.
Coral is actually an animal from 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 made of synthetic material is handcrafted by hand, identically reproducing the texture of these living specimens, most of which are now protected.

Huge Agate Slice of 3,7kg
€6,780.00This immense golden slice comes from Brazil, and comes from a Chalcedony geode.
It is formed by successive deposits of silica and ores or oxides dissolved in water and which infiltrates into the soil.
When it comes to volcanic soil, as in this case in Brazil, the water sometimes reaches an air pocket which has frozen in the lava when it has cooled. And it forms successive layers over months and years, with lighter or darker lines.
In this case, the heart is made of hyaline quartz (rock crystal), which allows light to pass through this slice to reveal its unique patterns: golden nodules reminiscent of champagne bubbles...

Ammonites Group, 180 Million Years Old
€3,600.00Block of Dactylioceras Athleticum ammonites.
A magnificent unique piece!
This block of Ammonites is a real photo of a seabed more than 180 million years old!
This large block of stone is 180 million years old since it dates from the Toarcian, at the very beginning of the Jurassic.
And surely a little German accent, since he comes from the Bayern region.
However, it is found throughout Europe. The Schlaifhausen site where this block comes from was undoubtedly the shore of a Jurassic sea where empty ammonite shells accumulated. The main advantage of this site is that the soil has remained quite sandy, which makes it easier to clear the gangue. A natural accumulation that was created 180 million years ago!
The block is presented on a polished brass base.

Red Gorgon on Brass Base H32x50cm
€348.00Red 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
€480.00Anamorphosis 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!
