Ostrich Egg on Wood Stand. The first Europeans to see an Ostrich egg surely stopped in their tracks. The size, the texture, the weight! Instantly it was a Kunstkammer hit, added to exotic shells and spiral narwhale teeth, skulls and feathers. Worth their weight in gold in the 17th century, famous sculptors were commissioned to mount them on baroque stands embellished with rubies and diamonds. Whalers later learned to engrave and carve them. Never having lost the magic of their fluid beauty, they now fit perfectly in our Cabinet of Curiosities.
- Hand collected from ostrich farms in South Africa. The shell is very strong.
- Simple assembly required.
- Stand and finial are hand crafted from recycled teak and mahogany.
- French distressed finish.
Our classic hand turned and carved mahogany stand complements this treasure of nature.
Size is approximately 6.50 inches deep by 19.50 inches tall. (Ostrich eggs average 15cm in height)
