More Information

This box is in remarkably good condition. There are very minor surface scratches to the inside gilt consistent with age. The box shuts crisply and in our view has lived for most of its existence within its box. The box is also in good condition and of a very good gauge, with just some minor corner abrasions to the underside and one minor abrasion on the edge of the lid.
