Carved Shell Address Signs

The scallop shell is a symbol seen on many items in New England, and house signs are one of the most common places to see this simple but beautiful shell. Shells were used by the Pilgrims for many day to day items. The scallop shell is seen as a humble symbol representing the crusade for life.

Most shell signs can be made 3 different ways.

• Carved in – Asymmetrical
• Carved in – Symmetrical
• Raised

All raised signs feature a real Cape Cod Bay Scallop. Each shell that is used is selected for its individual characteristics. We fill the back with epoxy to ensure hardness and durability, when covered with 23K gold leaf these shells are absolutely stunning. Sorry but the Raised Shell Option is only available for the small size signs.
