A very rare and most unusual coco de mer study- we believe this piece is a carved wooden model but we cannot be sure (it could be a coco de mer early in its development?) so please satisfy yourself.
What we do know is that this piece may be small but it is perfectly formed and displays so well.
Extremely tactile and a wonderful curio for any wunderkammer.
A very unusual piece!

This piece is as rare as they come: an original, potent ‘Two Worlds Ltd’ crystal ball, in its original velvet lined case (to prevent unintended ‘seeing’).
Both the ball and case are the larger example Two Worlds retailed which is even rarer! Beware of imitation cases which have the ‘Two Worlds’ logo medallion printed and cut out/stuck in to the inside of the box- the originals have this printed directly onto the satin lining.
The Two Worlds Publishing Company was founded in Manchester in 1887 to produce their flagship periodical, The Two Worlds.
From its inception until 1892, the famed actress and Spiritualist Emma Hardinge Britten acted as editor. It claimed to be a journal "devoted to Spiritualist, Occult Science, Ethics, Religion and Reform."
Two Worlds catered to those hungry for esoteric knowledge. By the turn of the century, Two Worlds had begun offering their own brand name spirit-communication tools for aspiring home mediums, including dial plates, planchettes and gazing crystals.
It is spine tingling and oh-so thrilling to think of the life of this crystal ball across approximately 120 years (the glass is rippled and with inclusions creating strange distortions). A magical piece.
A simply beautiful gift for yourself or a loved one, which will grace any collection.
We also have a scanned copy of the original instructions for use which we can send you digitally after purchase.
