Condition Report
Both trinket boxes display general scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing, the Art Nouveau example with a few small dints and bumps but overall in good condition, also stamped 10248 to the underside. The larger navette example displays more general wear and tear and would benefit from a clean and polish, the main area of wear however is the fitting of the lid to the body which appears distorted. Both hallmarks appear a little worn but clearly legible.
