Condition report:

This box is in overall good order with age related wear. There are some knocks, surface scratches and deep tarnish marks round the edges, inside the box and on the base, examine the photos carefully as this forms part of the condition report. The lid is in full working order and open and closes snugly. The gilt interior on the lid is in excellent condition but the gilt is quite faded in the main section of the pot. The lid does not seem to be knocked or damaged but does have some tarnish marks, the lid is in excellent condition and has a very pretty design too.

The box exudes quality workmanship and sophisticated design culminating in a extremely elegant and fine piece of Victorian silver.

This would be a fabulous addition to one's antique silverware collection.
