A Victorian tortoiseshell cushion shaped twin compartment tea caddy with hinged lid, inlaid mother of pearl throughout, 7 1/2" £200-300 ILLUSTRATED

The mother of pearl decoration is complete and in good order. The velevet lining to the lid is lifting slightly. Internally both of the sections are in good order with a lot of the lining remaining. As for the tortoiseshell there are a lot of repairs and bruising to it, several of which are shown in the additional photographs.
