Petrified Pine Cones with Double "Cradle" Gallery Stand

London Coin Galleries of Newport Beach requested C7 Studio to design a gallery stand for these two petrified pine cones. They are from Patagonia, Argentina around the Jurassic period. The Cradle Gallery Stand was hand-crafted so that the petrified pine cones fit into the cradle without wobbling or slipping.

The lowest post is floating an inch away from the base and taller post is two and half inches up to ensure an artistic balance. The base is three and half wide and five and half inches length. The overall height is four inches. The stand was finished with a patina coating “Noir.”
