About the Item
A striking pen or matchstick holder crafted from a natural sea urchin shell, its distinctive patterned exoskeleton preserved in warm tones of rust, cream, and ivory, and fitted with a polished silver-lined interior that adds both durability and a refined gleam. Sea urchins, with their beautifully textured tests and radial symmetry, have long been prized in decorative arts, and this piece transforms the organic form into a functional tabletop accessory. Elegant, tactile, and inherently unique due to its natural origin, the holder remains in excellent condition and brings a subtle coastal or cabinet-of-curiosity charm to any desk or display.
At Creel and Gow, we take great pride in our signature silvered shells, which have been a hallmark of our collection for over 20 years. To create these exquisite pieces, we have been working with the same atelier in Rome, Italy, which has been operated by the same family for generations.
Our workshop in Rome is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The family who runs the atelier has a deep understanding of silver and has honed their skills over many years, mastering the art of silversmithing. Their expertise extends beyond creating new silver pieces as they have also worked on restoration projects for the Vatican for many decades.
At Creel and Gow, we value the heritage and tradition of our atelier and the family that runs it. We work closely with them to create our signature silvered shells, which are made to the highest standards of quality and beauty. Each shell is carefully crafted by hand, with the utmost attention paid to every detail. From the initial design to the final polishing, our team works tirelessly to create pieces that are both stunning and enduring.
When you purchase a Creel and Gow silvered shell, you're not just buying a beautiful piece of decor, but you're also investing in a tradition of craftsmanship that spans generations. These shells are more than just decorative items; they are timeless pieces that will be cherished for years to come.
