About the Item
19th Century Polished Ammonite Paperweight
A beautiful and naturally sculptural 19th-century paperweight formed from a finely polished ammonite fossil. The elegant spiral—shaped over millions of years—has been carefully revealed through polishing, highlighting the fossil’s rich, earthy tones and striking natural patterning.
Both tactile and visually compelling, the ammonite’s organic form embodies the 19th century’s fascination with natural history, geology, and the wonders of the ancient world. Its substantial presence and smooth surface make it an ideal desk object, cabinet piece, or contemplative accent within a curated interior.
A timeless and poetic object where science and decoration meet, offering quiet sophistication and enduring charm.
