Item:386878409992Shell. Trumpet Titan Conch Shell Lamp. Shell circa 1904. Base added 1930's. This rare and now protected Trumpet Titan Conch shell was brought to Australia by my Great Grandfather in 1902 from the south sea islands..In the 1930's it was mounted to the hand turned wooden base. In 1974 it was converted into a lamp with spectacular results. Making it a true art deco original. The shell itself show some very fine cracking lines on the rear, as visible in the photos, These cracks, if you can call them that, are purely from age and do not alter the structural integrity of the shell or lamp at all and are not visible unless looked for. This a spectacular piece whether lit or not as it stands 50cm tall including the base. these shells are hard to come by particularly at this size, age and provenance. The pictures speak for themselves. This is either a statement piece, or a magnificent addition to any side table or side board. And it is a classic of art deco design. You rarely see a Trumpet Titan of this size, much less one that has ben converted into something that when turned on would be the focal point of any room. If you have a tiki bar or any nautical or sixties themed room, or an art deco home looking for a statement piece then this shell lamp should be seriously considered. You cannot beat a genuine one off for visual impact.
