Condition Report
The box displays general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. There are some minor nicks in the metal and a couple of small dints. The engraved decoration is generally okay, although there is a little bit more wear to the four corners. There are some contact marks to the gilded interior. The hinged lid is in working order and the box does close tightly. Hallmarks are slightly rubbed but still clear and legible.
