Giant Clam Shell (Tridacna Gigas)

1900 - 1920
Description

A superb giant clam shell with a well defined shape and good colour. With a lifespan of over 100 years, the clams build up layers of shells which makes them very heavy and difficult to date precisely. This shell, from a private collection, is in good condition, there is a small historic repair to one side and some minor chipping to the front edge, the inside surface is smooth and a good colour. An interesting, unusual and decorative object that would enhance any design scheme.

c.1910

Height: 9" (23cm)

Width: 23" (58.5cm)

Depth: 14.5" (37cm)

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
