Memories of Seaside Sojourns® by Isabeau Grey --Beautiful reminders of lazy summer days at the shore -- the mysterious and unique beauty from the sea will evoke magical moments that only the sea can offer.
Soft, lacy, weathered and worn - a large, beautifully tattered Bahama sea fan is imbued with the faded beauty of beached treasures which both complement and contrast the antique bottle of deep amber glass that it crowns. A band of highly textured metal work rings the base of the bottle, adding weight and interest. This piece is moody and chic and is a stunning and artful testament to summer at the shore and would fit perfectly within any decor.

The gorgeous, heavily patterned Jade Turbo shell is a find from the Sea of Cortez and bears the variegated earthy hues of the seashore -- the subtle hint of sea salt, the wheat and browns of sea grass and the dreamy blues and greens of the ocean. A thick ribbon of mother of pearl swirls around the shell with a surprise of color which peeks out from a heavy band of sculptured solder. The cool and sleek metallic light of pink and sea green displays a beautiful juxtaposition to the heavy, sculpted solder washed in the timeworn hues of rusted and weathered iron. Serving as the pedestal to his specimen grade shell is a sea bottle of hand blown antique glass. It is much more than it seems on first glance... the glass is full of surprises...it has been folded so many times, giving it a wavy, watery dimension. For over a century the bottle tumbled through the sea before finding its way to the shoreline and being beached. During that journey, a patina reminiscent of the iridized Mother of Pearl worked its way into a masterpiece of nature and dons the glass with the same hues reflected within the shell. It is truly a brilliant piece of art that can stand alone, but would also be lovely as part of any of collections. A must have addition for the discerning collector.

The pale and mysterious beauty of sea relics coupled with the elegance of silver that shows signs of the years is magical to me. Add to the mix opulent leaded crystal and it is almost too much beauty to bear. This one of a kind piece of art is a wonderful testament to the above described beautiful contradiction and marriage of both the rough and the refined.
Peeking out between arms of farm raised Elkhorn Coral are flashes of light being refracted from crystal chandelier remnants while silvery pearls of solder dot the organically sculpted frame of heavy metalwork. The coral and crystal crown a vintage silver plated, beautifully shaped ornate Baroque vessel that time and the elements have eaten away at the bits of the sterling silver and left in its place a perfect patina. All components come together in a gorgeous luxe curiosity that looks as though it has always been one single piece and will grow even more lovely with time.
This one of a kind piece of art is part of our beloved Nightsea Collection and is stunning enough to stand on its own or be the perfect addition or start to any discerning collector's anthology of luxe curiosities from our design studio by the sea.

Commanding in size and mysterious beauty, an alluring dark sea fan coral crowns a rare 100+ year old bottle of pale sea blue glass. Weighty and-blown, the glass is thick and veiled in a soft white, giving it a dreamy underwater quality. An iridescence enshrouds the patina, seeming soft until light happens upon it at which point a confetti, in a riot of colors, appears.
Reminiscent of a winter bare tree, the limbs of the sea fan stretch skyward, showing each beautiful nuance. Seemingly growing from a seabed of solder, the massive sea fan is rich in texture, elegant in pattern and architectural in nature -- part of the beautiful symphony of both contrasting and complementing elements within this one of a kind piece of art. A stunning relic of the sea, it boasts warm hues which range from almost black to red-tinged cinnabar. thinning and fading to delicate sanguine tips. Deceiving in looks, the sea fan is not a plant, but rather a soft coral colony and has an ethereal translucence which is most lovely at the tips and bathed in light.
The Antique bottle is embossed to read, "Robert Gibson, Manchester England, E.C. Rich, New York, US Agent." This listing is for the center bottle only.

Evoking childhood memories of shell collecting at dawn with the sea gently lapping at the sand while seabirds call out as they glide along the crests of waves; this large and substantial sea life bottle will bring summer to you any time of year. A beautifully weathered and partially calcified bloom of barnacles is imbued with sea salt white along with variegated hues of mauve and lavender. Highly textured and beautifully unique, this seaside sculpture bears spots of calcification along its textured surface. Held fast by organically sculpted solder, reminiscent of the rugged seafloor, the bloom crowns a large sun purple bottle of antique glass that was found washed up from the Pacific ocean. Veiled in a pale ethereal patina, subtle flashes of iridescent colors appear as the light happens across the surface of the bottle, much like of mother of pearl. Perfect alone and would bode well as part of any of our seaside collections.

Highly textured and washed in the soft, timeworn, sunbleached and salt eaten hues of seafoam - a beautiful pink abalone shell displays subtle peeks of its iridescent mother of pearl through encrusted striations created over decades under the sea. Framed in heavy solder which has an eggplant and copper undertone, the shell bears both sides - its rustic crusty side and its highly iridescent side in equal beauty from its place atop a stunning, weighty, sun purple bottle that has been reclaimed from the sea. The Art of contrasting and complementing beauty is astounding here - the soft purple of the antique bottle is picked up on both sides of the shell and within the patina. Small solder pearls of sterling silver dot the perimeter of the shell - a nod to the blow holes diagonally above them. Remnants of the sandy sea floor are forever trapped within the walls of antique glass while the ethereal, pale white patina mirrors sea foam floating in tidepools. A dreamy piece that is a gorgeous work of art. Perfect for the discerning collector with a sophisticated eye.
