This item has the most wonderful patination. original brasses, lock missing one replaced bun foot and a small sliver repair to the back of the lid.

Condition - as per the images. The lid has a very small repair to the back left where a small filet of timber has been used. This appears very historic and cannot be detected unless under close scrutiny. The box retains its original brasses. The lock missing is missing and one bun foot has been replaced at the back. A further condition report is available upon request.
