I hope everyone enjoys their first weekend of summer! Nothing says summer more to me than seashells from the beach. Why not display them in a gorgeous antique cabinet, such as this one from the Getty Museum in LA; what could be better?!
I've collected dozens of curiosities: seashells, coral, starfish, minerals, feathers, sea sponges, nests, antlers, etc. Now I just need the cabinet to display them in! This one's gorgeous! Hopefully I can find one very much like it.
Fabulous, Stefan. Is it my imagination or are they of a particularly large scale most of those shells? Maybe it's an optical illusion which gives even more credit to the cabinet.

Shells - an essential part of rococo decoration - and in a terrific rococo cabinet. Beautiful.
What an interesting choice of display! I love the "chicken wire" mesh, and the sense of contradiction.

When you make your own cabinet of curiosities, I'll supply the sand dollars!

Love sea shells & that amazing cabinet! It was perfect weather here in DC this weekend.
Love the juxtaposition of the natural shells and the elaborately crafted cabinet...
