Vintage Nautilus Shell Crane

A sculptural study in grace and balance, this mid-century crane dish pairs a nautilus shell “body” with slender, sinuous brass legs and a stylized neck in a poised curve. The form is beautifully proportioned, with a sense of lift and lightness despite the grounded weight of its materials. We love it as a standalone object or a quiet centerpiece—a place to collect matches, air plants, or nothing at all.

Dimensions: 9.75″ H × 3.75″ W × 6.5″ D

Condition: Light patina to the brass consistent with age. The shell is in beautiful shape with only minor surface irregularities, typical of natural material.
