Inspired by the beautiful Swirling Trees design from the archives of the Victoria and Albert Museum, this elegant shell collection combines Victorian botanical artistry with the natural beauty of sustainably sourced Dorset shells.

BRINGING ART INTO THE HOME

The Swirling Trees design is celebrated for its flowing botanical forms, elegant water lilies and intricate Victorian detailing. Combined with the organic beauty of natural shells and hand-gilded gold edging, each piece becomes both a practical accessory and a decorative artwork.

P R O C E S S
These shells come straight from the beautiful shores of Dorset and the South East Coastlines. Once they are back in my studio each one is then thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed and left to air dry.

Once the painted or applied design is completed they are left to air dry for another day. They are then sealed and painted with a gilded gold leaf and sealed with a gorgeous crystal clear resin.

S H E L L S
Each Oyster or Scallop shell dish will have subtle variations in its natural size and depth and how the decoupage is applied, as every one is individual.

P R E S E N T A T I O N
The shells are wrapped in white tissue paper and are then presented in a natural, branded, sustainable gift box, nestled in white shredded & recycled paper to protect the shell on its journey.

A wonderful self indulgent treat for you or a thoughtful gift to show your love for that special someone ❤️

My shells are uniquely sealed with a hard wearing gloss epoxy resin which is water resistant but I as a precaution I do not recommend submerging the shells in water and they are not dishwasher safe. Please wipe with a soft cloth.
