Estimate: | £700 - £1,000 |
Hammer price: | £2,400 |
Condition Report: There is a significant split to the left of the smaller tower on the front and it is pushed in at this point. The interior gilding to lid and base is entirely missing. Hallmarks are rather tired and dirt/staining around the edges. Grill is a little distorted and slightly pushed in. Suspension loop at the side is later. Underside not too bad. The lid hinge looks strained as is beginning to split inside hinge okay.
