Up for auction is a beautiful, highly collectible matched pair of Mid-Century Modern 3D seashell dioramas. Handcrafted during the height of the Hollywood Regency and Asian-inspired export trend of the 1970s, these pieces feature incredibly intricate peacocks and floral sprays meticulously constructed entirely from natural sea shells. The white and iridescent shell feathers pop brilliantly against the vibrant, unfaded red velvet backdrops. Rare Preservation & Condition Details: • Factory Sealed: This set is true "New Old Stock." It is still completely wrapped in its original manufacturer cellophane protective film, which folds around the wooden frames and seals at the back. • Time-Capsule Condition: Because the original cellophane has never been removed or sliced open, the fragile sea shells and velvet interior have been perfectly shielded from 50+ years of dust, smoke, light, and household elements. • Backings: Features the original raw tropical plywood backboards, structural wire hangers, factory paper tape edging, and a vintage hand-marked inventory sticker. Dimensions: Each frame measures approximately 11.5" x 16.5", making this mid-sized matching pair a perfect statement set for a retro, Boho-chic, or MCM home gallery wall Nearest intersection Yonge Street and Stelees Avenue Dimensions: 11.5" x 16.5" each Pickup category timeslot {A}
