An extraordinary natural black gorgonian mounted on an antique gilded wooden pedestal of ecclesiastical origin.


The silhouette is exceptionally elegant and balanced: the large size of this gorgonian makes it a striking, yet visually light, piece.
The gorgonian (black coral) is a marine organism belonging to the Antipatharia family, historically used for ornamentation and collections due to its branched structure and mysterious allure. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, similar specimens were displayed in European cabinets of curiosities as symbols of natural wonder. The pedestal retains all its authentic imperfections, traces of time that testify to its history and enhance its aesthetic value.


Condition: Excellent overall condition. The pedestal shows natural signs of aging, consistent with its age and original use, which enhance its authenticity. To ensure maximum safety during transport, the item will be shipped disassembled. Simple instructions for home reassembly will be provided.
