Antique white coral on turned wooden base, 25 cm

Antique specimen of natural white coral, slender and branched, mounted on a turned wooden base with a brass stem. It is most likely a coral of the genus acropora, identifiable by its fine and upright structure, evoking a small marine shrub frozen in time. The total height is 25 cm. The old and patinated wooden base shows natural nuances and some marks related to its age, without altering its stability or aesthetics. The coral is in excellent condition, with a beautiful uniformity of white to slightly ivory hue, and no apparent breaks. This antique decorative piece will find its perfect place in a curio cabinet, a naturalist-inspired interior or a specialized collection.
