The vintage Shell Box is an object sourced by Olive Ateliers® from France and is exactly as shown. Hinged like a real shell, it opens to hide away jewelry, matches, or secrets no one else needs to know.
Closed, it reads as pure sculpture on a stack of books or a mantle.
Expect subtle historical nuances in patina, coloration, texture, markings, and minor repairs, reflective of age and use.
