Antique large natural coral on turned wooden base, 45 cm

Exceptional antique specimen of natural white coral with cream highlights, mounted on a large turned wooden base. The whole presents a harmonious fan-shaped silhouette, with a very dense and well-balanced branched structure. Its total height is 45 cm, for a maximum width of 31 cm and a weight of 2310 g. The coral, most likely of the genus acropora, is remarkably preserved, with a slightly more golden than white hue, highlighting its age and natural exposure. No major chips are visible, and the solid wooden base, patinated and slightly cracked in places, testifies to ancient use while remaining stable. This type of decorative piece evokes period cabinets of curiosities or decor inspired by the marine world. It will find its place in a nature or seaside decoration or in a collection of antique curiosities. Dimensions: total height: 45 cm (including base) maximum width: 31 cm weight: 2310 g.
