Condition

Very good overall condition. One of the upper corner of the base presents with a very minute chip of shagreen, not visually distractive. The shagreen of the top presents with small seams separations, consistent with age and use. The shagreen presents with very light soiling throughout the surface, consistent with age and use. The sycamore presents with a few small stains with two more visible ones on the underside of the lid. The sycamore on the unside of the box presents with some light wear and some surface scratches, all consistent with age and use.
