Description

A very good example of a rare Georgian Terrapin and silver snuff box with tortoiseshell base. The tortoiseshell base is inlaid with a central silver star surrounded by small stars. The central star bears the initials of the original owner together with the word “Soho”. It has a very good stand away hinge and the box opens and closes well. The shell does show some signs of wear and old repair. The tortoiseshell is in very good order with some surface scratches commensurate with age and use. Please see all photographs. Circa 1720.
