Small age split in the embossed decoration, (see photos), nothing at all bad and it has a double skin silver lid so there are no wear holes showing through. The silver hinged lid worksperfectly and opens and closes tightly and the interior gilding is all original and much of it is still intact, some age-related wear. Superb very early datedEnglish silver box and with no added personal engraved crests or monograms.
