Genuine Fossil Ammonite Pen Holder with Nickel-plated Metal Detail

About the Item

An extraordinary object that combines nature and design: this unique pen holder is the result of the union of a real fossil ammonite from the Sahara, belonging to the Goniatite family (estimated age: 350 million years), and an elegant half-moon insert in polished nickel-plated brass. The characteristic spiral shape and natural hues make each piece absolutely unique and unrepeatable. Designed by Nino Basso for the Fossiline collection, this sculptural pen holder is more than just a desk accessory: it can also be used as an entryway emptier, perfect for modern or eclectic-taste settings. An original and refined gift idea designed for those who like to surround themselves with objects with a thousand-year history and a strong aesthetic impact.
