Genuine tiger nautilus (Nautilus pompilius) mounted on a turned wooden base, late 19th/early 20th century. A unique decorative piece, ideal for a cabinet of curiosities or contemporary decor, with a marine and nature theme. This is an antique nautilus, but it is in very good condition, with no cracks or breaks. Height: 34.5 cm. Nautilus height: 17 cm. Nautilus width: 12.5 cm. Nautilus thickness: 8 cm. Base diameter: 9 cm. Weight: 320 grams. This nautilus is antique; it comes from a private collection dating from before 1970. I mention this because these shells are now protected and must be preserved.
