ANTIQUES RESTORATION
Antiques restoration may require matching a
particular missing shell to repair a priceless
old lamp, a beautiful frame or piece of
furniture. Many musical instruments also feature
MOP (mother-of-pearl) inlay. We have a large
warehouse and may be able to
supply exactly what you need to replace a lost
piece.

SEASHELLS FOR CEREMONIAL USE
In Feng Shui practice and many other purifying rituals, a big natural Abalone Shell may be used during smudging rituals to burn incense (restoring balance) to purify and harmonise a space. These are age-old cleansing rituals, used and shared around the globe to this day. Notable examples include native Americans using their famous local Giant Abalone Shells to safely hold a burning white Sage bundle during a smudging ceremony. See our DECOSHELLS section for available Seashell options.
