https://www.thehoarde.com/dealers/marc-kitchen-smithAn Edwardian shellwork diorama in the shape of a starfish, featuring a chromolithograph of an historic landscape. In front of the image is an artfully arranged display of shells and seaweed creating a 3D effect to the view. In good original condition.
These shellwork dioramas were produced in the late Victorian/early Edwardian period as souvenirs of coastal towns and seaside locations, often bought by sailors as presents for their sweethearts.
