Both boxes displaying general surface wear, marks and scratches and some tarnishing to the metal mounts. Would benefit from a clean and polish. Some surface dints and bumps. The hinged lid on the first box appears in good working order. There are some areas of damage and small losses to the inlay decoration and also some loss of surface detail. The removable lid on the other box appears to be a good fit.
