Vintage Nautilus Shells Pair 7" Polished Hand Painted Coastal Nautical Beach

A striking pair of vintage chambered nautilus shells, each measuring about 7 inches across. One shell has been hand painted with a detailed tall ship at sea, while the other is left natural and polished to reveal its shimmering mother-of-pearl iridescence. These shells are genuine vintage decorative pieces, likely dating to the 1960s–1980s, when painted and pearlized nautilus shells were sold as popular coastal souvenirs. Original vintage price sticker still present, a charming detail that speaks to its mid-century origins. • Size: approx. 7" each • One hand painted, one natural polished • Ideal for nautical / coastal décor, collectors, or display 👉 Condition note: The natural shell has 2 small holes (see photos). This does not affect stability or overall beauty, especially when displayed at an angle, but is reflected in the price. Why Collectible Due to trade restrictions protecting nautilus species, polished shells of this size are harder to find today. This pair represents both natural ocean beauty and mid-century coastal décor history. We try very hard to show items true condition thru pictures and descriptions. Colors may vary slightly due to lighting conditions when photographed.
