This incredible tortoiseshell double tea caddy was one I couldn’t pass up! I sourced it in Belgium. It has a unique silhouette with beautiful curvature that I was immediately drawn to. It has its original silver details, including an escutcheon and inlays that frame each unique section. Inside are two lidded compartments with additional tortoise as well as a blue velvet lining on the top.

Condition: No key. Some wear especially at base. Fully intact lids inside. Overall good condition. Please review all photos closely for specific condition details.
