Why we love it
‘There's magic in the water that draws all men away from the land, that leads them over hills, down creeks and streams and rivers to the sea.’ Herman Melville.
We’re honoured to be custodians of an esteemed Naval Officer’s shell collection. Pieces he gathered over a long-distinguished career across the Pacific. Pieces collected by hand and cherished as mementos of distant shores and times. We envision them now as a beautiful evocative gift for one who loves the sea and its offerings. They would look beautiful displayed on the shelf of a bookcase or in a wooden or marble bowl or box.
*Alongside a copy of Moby Dick, they would make an unforgettable graduation gift. One to inspire the heart and mind.
