condition

This antique 18ct gold snuff box is an exceptional gauge of gold, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The cast decoration is very sharp and the engine turned and engraved decoration is very crisp. The hallmarks to the interior of the body and part hallmarks to the interior of the cover of this English gold box are very clear; the hallmarks are deeply struck due to the exceptional gauge of gold. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this antique 19th century piece.
