19th Century Bronze and Agate Rotating Tortoise Tables Forest of ParisAn unusual 19th century bronze and agate obelisk rotating tortoise desk ornament. The bronze tortoise sits upon a marble base, surmounted by an agate obelisk; the whole rotates 360 degrees upon the base. There are some lights signs of wear commensurate with age but generally the piece remains a very good condition indeed and displays well. A fantastic curiosity.
