This rare and elegant pair of containers, dating from the late 1800s, features authentic ostrich eggs mounted on finely worked gilt sheet metal ring bases. Each piece is topped with a distinctive stopper made from cork, metal, and a branch of genuine Mediterranean red coral, adding a naturalistic and refined touch.

Originally crafted as decorative objects or curiosities, these antique containers beautifully combine organic materials with artisanal metalwork. Their spherical form and minimal detailing evoke a timeless sense of curiosity and sophistication, making them a striking addition to any cabinet of curiosities, eclectic décor, or historical collection.

An exceptional example of 19th-century craftsmanship marrying natural elements with decorative design.
