Large Antique Victorian Tortoise Shell 7" Double Well Tea Caddy
About the Item
Very good to excellent condition for age and type. There is a small veneer chip on the lower front of the left side and one on a corner of an interior lid. The rear left side bun foot is a later replacement, in carved wood and not shell like the other three but the color and shape are close enough to pass. That said, there are no cracks or significant issues to deal with and the shell veneers are all solidly in place - just truly breathtakingly beautiful in person. I have this one displayed right now in my living room, tempted to just keep it forever. Fine satin polished finish shows the colors beautifully. You will truly love this one!
