This sea turtle in true Victoriana form is presented here in full silver plate, its protective carapace covered in young penshell, mimicking the sea turtle's own variegated brown and amber shell. Presented in fluid pose, our turtle gives the illusion of gracefully navigating the sea. The superb detailing of this substantial piece is thanks to the age old technique of lost wax casting; it expertly displays the life-like structure of the turtle, a truly Victorian fascination stemming from 1880s England. A Chinese symbol of wealth, longevity, strength and endurance, this turtle makes an excellent gift or addition to your home.
