Condition

EN : Good overall condition. Light surface dirt on the shagreen. The inside with multiple ink stains. The underside with surface scratches consistent with use and a few cracks in the wood. On the reverse of the top, traces of what is most likely a very small branded monogram of Chanaux & Pelletier. //// FR : Bon état général. Léger encrassement de surface sur le galuchat. L'intérieur présente de nombreuses tâches d'encre. Le dessous avec de nombreuses rayures, cohérentes avec l'âge et l'utilisation et quelques fissures dans le bois. Au revers du couvercle, traces de ce qui est très probablement une très petit monogramme de Chanaux & Pelletier.
