Condition Report
In overall fair condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The material lining to the wooden base beneath has significant losses and has lifted, requires attention. The pull out draw slightly catches when put back in but fits in well and aligns with the front nicely, the drop ring handle appears slightly mis-shaped. The box slightly wobbles on its feet as the front two feet are bent/compressed in comparison to the others. Minor loss of definition to the decoration. Would benefit from a clean and polish. Hallmarks slightly worn but still legible, partial hallmarks to the draw which is further marked Rd. 335571.
