Turtle Trinket Box

Cast in silver plate with a gently rounded shell, this mid-century turtle opens to reveal a small hidden compartment — once used a cigarette box now a charming place to keep rings, earrings, or small personal treasures. The hinged shell lifts, while the sculpted form gives the piece both playfulness and quiet decorative presence.

The silvered surface has developed a soft patina over time, adding warmth and depth to its contours. Displayed on a bedside table, desk, or dressing tray, it serves as both a functional box and a small sculptural accent.
