Condition Report
The box displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Would benefit from a polish. Some slight surface dints and edge/rim nicks. Slightly heavier wear to corners. The hinged lid appears in working order although a slight gap remains when it is closed. The whole silver mount is very loose and lifting from the wood base. There are large splits to the wood base and a repair to one corner, also the veneer to the interior is lifting in places. The box wobbles slightly.
