Shells Suspended in Lucite
Shells Suspended in Lucite
Seashells in stasis…
This Lucite cylinder manages to turn a handful of seashells into a proper mid-century still life. The crystal-clear resin simply freezes a coastal moment, leaving the shells to float there, effortless and bright. Ultimately, these pieces nail the mid-century spirit: they capture nature’s perfect beauty using the newest synthetic material of the time, lucite. It looks especially sharp paired with soft linen textures, modern chrome, or a light. The ultimate high-low coastal balance.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
