  • Lapis-lazuli with brass base (2,8kg)

    €1,800.00
    Lapis-lazuli block of 2.8 kg on a brass base from Afghanistan.
    A wonderful unique piece!
    Lapis-Lazuli, whose royal blue color is highly sought after, is the most famous of the stones linked to intuition. The great rulers of the world (Pharaohs, emperors, kings, etc.) have always considered it a sacred stone intended to help them achieve on g-reign with wisdom and justice. The Egyptians in particular held Lapis in high esteem and imported it from Afghanistan where it has been extracted for 6500 years.
    Lapis-lazuli has therefore always symbolized royalty, that is to say the ability to reign over one's inner and outer kingdom q-guided by the intuition of a divine source and not by selfish personal will.
    The gentle energy of lapis will benefit those who are willing and in control. It will promote subtle listening and afuidity in their actions, which will ease tensions.
    Lapis has the reputation of also being the stone of friendship because it helps to intuitively perceive what is right in a relationship, so it will have its place in your living room such as the living room, living room or a desk.
    The most beautiful Lapis Lazuli come from the province of Badakhshan in northern Afghanistan. In a narrow valley, covered with snow most of the year, mines have been exploited for 6500 years!
    The Sumerians, then later the Egyptians appreciated this blue stone, as evidenced by the many statues and blue beads found in the tombs of important people. And all of them, like this one, came from the Afghan mountains.
    Lapis-Lazuli is a rock composed of 14 different minerals, the main one being Lazurite, blue, and the little golden touch brought by the Pyrite which sprinkles this mineral.
    A few veins of white Calcite run through this magnificent piece.

  • Balrnacles Shells on Brass Stand - H27cm

    €600.00

    Bouquet of natural shells composed of large purple barnacles: Megabalanus tinnabulum, and those strange oysters with such a twisted mouth: the Lopha Cristagalli.

    They have been grouped to give a round shape instead of the flat side they have, attached to the boat.

    A magnificent unique piece!

  • 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.

    Rattan, a material with extraordinary properties with limits.

    Rattan is a vine of the Palm race, which grows in very humid or even swampy equatorial forests.

    With its siliceous skin like glass, this extremely solid and light vine is particularly resistant to humidity, as are tropical woods, teak or others.

    But this resistance has its limits. Exposed to rain, rattan resists very well for a whole day or even a few days. But if this rain continues for too many hours, the humidity will gradually penetrate the Rattan, and day after day the material kept damp will end up slowly degrading and losing its resistance qualities.

    The physical limits of rattan imply precautions for use. On the terraces of Parisian cafes, the chairs can last for decades while they are often in the rain all day for long periods. But they are piled up every night under cover and can thus dry out.

    More generally, rattan can withstand rain for long hours without compromising its longevity, but must be able to dry regularly.

    In practice, rattan furniture can stay outside throughout the "summer season", the weather is hot and rather dry, continuous rains exceptionally last more than three or four days and Rattan withstands such rains without degrading.

    But as soon as the season advances, the temperature drops, there is a lot of condensation and humidity, the Rattan will gradually become humid, the long and heavy rains accentuating this degradation. In practice, these are sensitive situations by the sea.

    It is then imperative to put the seats under shelter, a ventilated shelter to avoid progressive humidification as soon as the "bad season" arrives, in practice from mid-October to mid-March for a continental climate.

    The alternative if you want to use your Rattan furniture all year round, is to put it away daily, every evening, as Parisian terraces do.

    In summary, 2 main principles to respect:

    During the winter season (October 15 to March 15 in Europe) in all climates: the furniture must be stored “dry”. It can however be left outside during the day, but must imperatively be put in the dry during the night.

    During the "beautiful season", the rest of the time, the Rattan can remain permanently outside.

    However, if a lasting rain arrives, the Rattan should only be left in this rain for two or three days at the most, before putting the furniture in the dry place so that it can dry. He only takes it out once the rain has stopped (In any case, a terrace cannot be used in the rain).

    Both natural and man-made, this shape was obtained by cutting part of the shell of a Syrinx Aruanus from Australia, the largest single-valve in the world.
    It is the biggest "snail" under water!
    This huge marine gastropod (up to 18 kg) has a completely yellow body.
    This spiral is the natural shape of this shell, but here it has been highlighted.
    A rare job.
    A cultural and natural piece at the same time.
    A magnificent unique piece!
  • Red Coral Branch on Golden Stand - H48cm

    €360.00

    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.
