French Shell Pedestal Jewelry Dish

A beautifully sculptural brass shell jewellery dish in the Art Deco style, shaped as an elegant scallop shell and elevated on a small circular pedestal, giving the piece a wonderfully refined, architectural presence.

The polished brass catches the light across the shell’s deep, radiating ribs, while the distinctive double-scroll detail at the centre adds a refined Deco touch. The combination of strong symmetry, geometric repetition and lustrous brass gives the piece a glamorous sculptural quality.

Found in France, this unsigned piece captures the elegance of French Art Deco design in a wonderfully decorative and functional form. The raised pedestal allows the shell form to be appreciated from every angle.

The piece has been professionally restored and polished, bringing the brass back to a beautiful, luminous finish.

At 16 cm wide, it has a generous yet beautifully compact scale, making it ideal as a jewellery dish, vide-poche, trinket dish or catchall. Perfect for rings and treasured pieces on a dressing table, or equally beautiful displayed empty on a bedside table or console.
