About the Item

Natural Shell with Silver Mount – Luiz Ferreira Portugal, 20th century Decorative natural shell mounted in sterling silver (925/1000) by Luiz Ferreira, combining organic form with refined silversmithing. The shell retains its natural iridescence and sculptural contours, while the silver mount follows its shape with restraint and precision, serving both as reinforcement and as an elegant framing element. The silver is discreetly hallmarked, confirming the sterling standard, and bears the maker’s mark of Luiz Ferreira, known for his sensitivity in integrating natural materials into silver objects during the 20th century. A refined example of modern Portuguese decorative silver, balancing nature and craftsmanship, suitable as a decorative object or vide-poche. Dimensions: 8.5 × 13 cm
