Carefully carved details define the shell panels, head, and feet, giving the piece a refined yet whimsical presence. The surface features a deep tortoiseshell finish, with areas of lacquer wear revealing warm amber tones beneath, creating depth, warmth, and subtle luminosity. This subtle loss, visible along the surface shell edge and legs, adds depth and organic character, giving the turtle a more natural, aged presence rather than detracting from it. The hinged lid opens smoothly to reveal a matte black interior, ideal for storing small treasures, jewelry, or desk accessories. Both functional and ornamental, this box works beautifully as an objet d’art on a console, coffee table, or bookshelf. In good condition and ready to be used for years to come. Please see all additional pictures for details. See less
