Pair of antique Tubipora musica ornamental corals on base, 17 cm

Superb pair of tubipora musica ornamental corals, also known as organist corals, mounted on solid wood bases with brass rods. These antique specimens are distinguished by their characteristic openwork tubular structure and their beautiful natural red hue, contrasting with the patina of the wood. The larger of the two corals measures 17 cm in height (including the base), while the second is slightly smaller. Their sculptural appearance and detailed texture make them ideal decorative pieces for a naturalist collection, a cabinet of curiosities, or a sophisticated marine ambiance. The contrast between the deep red of the coral and the warmth of the wood highlights their rarity and natural beauty, creating a unique ensemble that is both scientific and ornamental.
