Vintage Pair of Large Murex & Spider Conch Shells | Coastal Boho Shell Decor

Bring the serene beauty of the ocean into your home with this stunning pair of large, natural seashells. This set includes one intricate Murex Ramosus shell and one dramatic Lambis Truncata, also known as a Giant Spider Conch. Their impressive size and fascinating shapes make them a captivating decorative accent.

Features:

• A Perfect Pair: This listing is for two distinct, complementary shells.
• Murex Ramosus: A beautiful example of a Ramose Murex, showcasing its characteristic spiny fronds and a delicate pink-flushed aperture. Its sculptural quality is a testament to natural artistry.
• Lambis Truncata (Spider Conch): Known for its impressive flared lip and seven distinctive ‘finger-like’ spines, this shell is a true statement piece. As noted by collectors, natural wear to the tips of the spines during the shell’s life is quite normal and part of its authentic character.
• Authentic Coastal Charm: Sourced for their natural beauty, these shells are perfect for adding a touch of organic texture and coastal style to any interior.

Measurements (Approximate):

• Murex Shell: Length: 13cm (5.1 inches)
• Lambis (Spider Conch) Shell: Length: 15cm (5.9 inches)

Condition: Good vintage condition. As natural items, they show light surface scratches and minor wear consistent with their age and journey. The shells are clean and display beautifully. Please view all photos as they form part of the description and showcase the unique character of each piece.

Styling Ideas:

• Arrange them on a mantelpiece or bookshelf as natural sculptures to create a sophisticated coastal focal point.
• Display in a bathroom to evoke a serene, spa-like atmosphere alongside candles and rolled towels.
• Use them as a centrepiece on a coffee table or console, nestled in a decorative bowl or placed directly on the surface for a touch of organic elegance.
