Ithaca Silver Shell Sculpture
Ithaca Silver Shell Sculpture
$102.15
/
Ithaca Shell Sculpture is a long-tailed spindle shell from LoftModern Curations, cast in silver-toned aluminum with a knobbed body and a slender, tapering tail.
At 11.5 in long, 5 in wide and 4.25 in high, it reads as a graphic diagonal when laid on a table.
The Design Story
Ithaca takes the shape of a spindle shell: a swelling, ridged body that draws out into a thin canal like the tail of a comet. The surface is covered in small knobs and growth ridges, and the open end shows a dark hollow. Because the body is heavy and the tail is slight, the whole piece has a lively lean.
Why You’ll Love It
It is the longest line in the shell group, so it likes a surface where it can stretch out. A tray, a shelf or the middle of a coffee table is enough.

Questions We Hear Most
How should it be displayed?
It is shown resting on its side, with the body down and the slim tail extending along the surface. Give it room, since the tail is the thinnest part.
How long is it?
11.5 in (29.2 cm) long, 5 in (12.7 cm) wide and 4.25 in (10.8 cm) high.
Is the tail fragile?
It is slender, so lift the piece from beneath the body, not by the tail.
How do I clean the ridges?
Use a soft, dry brush to remove dust from the ridges, then wipe with a dry cloth.
Why We Love It
A shell with a long, graceful tail. It gives a short shelf a diagonal.
