This charming box is in good but used condition. Clear marks. There are a number of small splits and dents as you'd expect from an article of this age made from thin gauge silver. The lock is in working condition with faults. Please note that this item is not new and will show moderate signs of wear commensurate with age. Reflections in the photograph may detract from the true representation of this item.

Maker: Johann Balthasar Sedletzky
