Tutte le aste / Etnografia / Large Iridescent Mother-of-Pearl Nautilus - Nautilus...
Polished Nautilus Pompilius shell on a display stand — This specimen features a Nautilus Pompilius shell of considerable size, characterized by its glossy surface that enhances the splendid iridescence of the mother-of-pearl. The craftsmanship has brought out the intricate color bands and the characteristic silken luster, making every angle of the shell a point of visual interest. The perfect spiral shape, mathematically harmonious and intrinsically fascinating, is presented here in all its natural beauty. The shell is mounted on a dark wooden base, elegant and discreet, which allows for a stable and refined display. The base was chosen to complement the shell’s luminosity, offering a color contrast that further enhances its dramatic presence. This pairing elevates the specimen from a simple natural object to a decorative art piece and a collectible. The Nautilus Pompilius, with its internally proportioned chambers, is a symbol of growth, evolution, and the intrinsic beauty of nature. The mother-of-pearl, or nacre, that coats the interior of the shell, is appreciated for its strong iridescent lustre, due to the microstructure of aragonite platelets that diffract light. This optical phenomenon creates a play of colors that changes with the angle of light, giving the specimen dynamic vitality. A piece of such aesthetic and scientific quality fits perfectly in any natural history collection, in a Wunderkammer display, or as a decor element of great impact in a modern or classic setting. Its presence adds a timeless touch of elegance and a reminder of the marvel of the marine world.
