Tridacna Gigantea, Small Complete Clam Shell

1920 - 1940
Description

This smaller example of the species is a complete and exquisitely formed clam shell, the distinct layers giving a frilly appearance. The outside still retains evidence of its life in the southern oceans, the inside is a good white colour, shiney and clean. The two halves fit together well making the complete shell. There is a small chip to the inside edge of one half, this can be seen in the photos, the general condition is good.

This unusual and highly decorative clam shell came from a private collection and would be an eye catching and interesting display item.

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.
