Overall very good condition. Minor surface dirt throughout. Top with minor rubbing and surface dirt. With a concentrated area of oxidation to the top around the raised lettering as seen in the catalogue illustration. Minor oxidation across the top surface of the box concentrated to the recessed areas as seen in the catalogue image. With polish residue to the top which is currently obstructing some of the enameled recesses. With discoloration and oxidation to the beveled interior edge of the base, which is obstructed when the box is closed. Interior with red stained cork, which remains in very good condition. A stunning tone to the enamelwork in this work.
