condition
condition
In very good condition, the silver has only minor signs of age and use but with fractional distortion to the lower rim edge which isn't discernible unless viewed from below and the circular box itself is fine. The maker's mark is partially rubbed. The silk interior is frayed in the centre and the leather base shows expected signs of age.
