More Information

Overall condition is good. There are a couple of very small dents to the edges, and to the central cartouche. There is the beginnings of a split to the lid. Moderate amount of scratching to exterior and some slight areas of pitting to the base. Hinges to lid and grille are secure and working correctly, however neither sit completely flush and do leave small gaps around the edges. There is a moderate amount of scratching to the interior, but the gilt is in good order.
