Product Details

Make your offer

A rare and highly decorative pair of hermit crabs mounted on turned museum bases, with their original inventory numbers still present.

These specimens retain an extraordinary sculptural presence, with shells featuring exceptional texture and visually striking, articulated anatomy.

These characteristics lend the ensemble an almost surreal appearance typical of the finest Wunderkammern and 19th-century natural history exhibits.
The antique bases and original numbering suggest provenance from an ancient cabinet of curiosities or a scientific collection.

An exceptional decorative and collectible pair for enthusiasts of naturalia, Wunderkammern, and antique scientific objects.

Italy/Germany, 19th century.

Height approximately 17.5 cm.

Good condition with normal signs of aging consistent with age and use.Invia commenti
