Vintage shell diorama with seahorse

Price £85.00

Unusual, handmade vintage shell diorama, featuring marine life – including a real seahorse, coral and a variety of different shells. Probably from the 1950s or early ‘60s, this unique curiosity measures around 20 cm high, with a base of 22 x 18 cm. Good vintage condition, though the coral may remains a little grubby (inventive suggestions for cleaning this difficult material are welcome).

I simply adore seahorses, though I love shells too – in fact most things from the sea (especially of the edible variety, though not seahorses I promise). Probably more for lovers of retro travel memorabilia than seafood, this exquisitely curious creation is something of a collectors’ item. Great as a gift, or to add a spot of quirkiness and colour to an eclectic interior.
