Why You’ll Love It
A spectacular one-of-a-kind shellwork chaise lounge by celebrated IGMA Artist Pamela Goldman is a daybed worthy of a mermaid palace. The elevated headrest is crowned by a luminous abalone shell whose silvery mother-of-pearl interior shimmers with soft pink and iridescent tones. Hundreds of tiny golden periwinkle shells create a richly textured surround, while the reclining surface is formed from carefully arranged scallop shells that mimic luxurious upholstery. The sides are lavishly embellished with an array of cockle shells, fan scallops, and striking zebra nerite shells, all supported by an ornate metal filigree framework with scrolling shell-tipped legs. Every inch reveals extraordinary craftsmanship and an imaginative celebration of the sea. Display it in a mermaid retreat, shell grotto, coastal conservatory, fantasy parlor, or ocean-inspired collector's cabinet.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
