Imposing 19th-Century Gilt Sailor's Pricket with Mounted Natural Sea Fan- 62"H
About the Item
This striking and unusual piece showcases a large, natural sea fan meticulously mounted on an impressive 19th-century gilt sailor’s pricket, standing an impressive 62" tall. The pricket, adorned with intricate gilded details, bears a central motif of a gilt anchor, symbolizing maritime heritage, making it a fitting base for the fan. The craftsmanship of the pricket features classic ornamental flourishes, including gilt-accented fluting and robust lion's paw feet, exuding elegance and stability.
The sea fan, with its delicate, lace-like structure, offers a fascinating contrast to the solid base, creating a visually dynamic piece. The sea fan's natural beauty, with its branching, coral-like form, adds a touch of the ocean’s allure, perfectly complementing the maritime theme. This piece is not only a testament to the craftsmanship of the 19th century but also a rare fusion of natural history and sailor’s artistry. Perfect as a focal point in any collection or interior that seeks to combine nature with nautical history.
