Sale On. Antique Blonde Turtle Shell Original Stand.
Retirement Sale, sale price £3500.00
Antique Blonde Turtle Shell on Original Stand.
This superb example comes complete with both front & back of the carapace ( most shells only have the front section )
The colour is a wonderful rich blonde. A most unusual feature is the original heavy cast stand for display purposes.

These shells come from South American river Turtles & in the 19th century ships purchased the animals for food/ meat to have on board.
The shells were then hand polished by the sailors on the homeward voyage to be given as presents or sold for extra money.
This shell comes with CITES article 10 certificate for sale within Europe. Certificate number 578775/01
