This box is in overall good order with age related wear. There are some knocks particularly to the base, 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 hallmarks to the base are only partially visible.

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