The Symbolic Sea Turtle in Interior Design

December 16, 2013

What do sea turtles and interior design have in common you might ask? Because many cultures believe that the Turtle provides protection, good fortune and happiness; it makes it a wonderful design element to include into your home's décor. Anything depicting a turtle makes a thoughtful gift too.

The Turtle is an ancient symbol that represents creation, endurance, strength, stability, longevity, fertility, and innocence. Due to its seemingly wide-eyed and carefree attitude the turtle is often thought to be the wisest of souls among the animal kingdom.

Our Paper Mache Sea Turtle is a nice little piece to add to your home, or to start a collection with. Each collectible paper mache turtle is hand-made and hand-painted in bold acrylic paint by artisan Roberto Garcia Camacho in his southern Yucatan home.

If your walls are a bit bare, consider our Sea Turtles made of Mixed Metals. These are perfect wall art and are available in three sizes. Purchase individually or to really make a statement, buy a set of three!

Looking for a thoughtful gift? Our Small Green Turtle Box is molded with clay into various figures and hand-painted one at a time by Mexican clay artisans. These small boxes are an ideal place to store small items and keepsakes such as jewelry, watches, or incense. The designs and colors make a unique impression!

If you're already a fan of turtles and are looking for an amazing statement piece to display in your home, then our Turtle & Son Book Club Sculpture sculpture is sure to please you! Carlos Munoz Garcia and Albert Ickenroth, better known as "Carlos & Albert", have combined their talents to create unique and whimsical art sculptures. All of their creations evoke a unique sense of imagination and wonder. They use human qualities in their pieces to bridge the emotional gap to the animal kingdom. The resulting human like sculptures are filled with personality and charm. All of these collectible pieces are limited editions, numbered and signed by the artists, and include a signed certificate of authenticity.
