About the Item

A pair of emptied ostrich eggs with their turned solid oak bases, dating back to the 19th century and originating from a cabinet of curiosities, Ostrich eggs are particularly impressive due to their imposing size and unique texture. Their presentation on turned solid oak bases adds to their aesthetic appeal, providing them with a sturdy and elegant foundation. These items are not only fascinating works of art in themselves, but they also embody the spirit of discovery and wonder characteristic of 19th-century cabinets of curiosities in France.
