More and more people are coming to appreciate these natural works of art and use them to great effect to enhance the décor in their homes and offices.
The possibilities are endless ranging from small ornaments to large architectural pieces with prices to suit all budgets.
Fossil and mineral ornaments displayed anywhere in a room make a refreshing distraction to the eye. Every one a fascinating talking point.
Do look at the
"In Situ"
page to get an impression of how some people display fossils and minerals to enhance their daily lives. Fossils and minerals can create a wonderful contrast, particularly in modern buildings and apartments. What better way to present solidity and character.
I am happy to discuss particular requirements and advise either
interior designers or individual clients directly.
Fossil plaques make most unusual sculptural displays or wall hangings. The black and white Orthoceras fossils are particularly striking, available as very tall obelisks or in natural three dimensional plaques, in various sizes. When polished they also make wonderful table tops.
Fossilised wood slices or in natural log form as sculptures and ornaments have some most unusual rich colours. These too can be available as very large natural slices or in fossilised mosaic designs for table tops.
Minerals in their natural state or crafted items, such as this Onyx fruit bowl, make beautiful,
bold, stand alone sculptural pieces.
Book ends are also a great way to display the natural beauty of both fossils and minerals, such as fossilised Sequoia or Rock Crystal.
Free standing fossils such as this Mammoth
Tusk provide not just sculptural beauty
but a conversation piece as well.
It is amazing to think that most of these pieces were formed tens, if not hundreds, of millions of years ago. This Mammoth Tusk is actually the youngest item being only between ten and fifty thousand years old !
Traditionally, in terms of fossils, one is most familiar with ammonites. However there are many, many other interesting options. Just in terms of shell fossils they range from plaques such as Orthoceras, through single pieces such as this extinct sea snail, to a whole column of Pecten.
The constant discovery of new fossil types is well reported, however, it is less well known that new minerals, of all types, are also constantly being discovered bringing ever greater choice.
The sheer diversity of colour, texture, and size within rocks, fossils and minerals is astounding, and, of course, each piece is unique and as such gives an unusual dimension to furnishing homes and offices.
Whether chosen for artistic merit, as in the amazing fossils and stalactitic and crystaline structures, or as spectacular minerals to complement colour schemes, they are always a talking point.
Supplies of this quality and type are, obviously, relatively limited and should you require anything in particular for yourself, or your clients, do not hesitate to
