Condition report:
Most obviously, numerous hairline cracks to the side of the circular box with a few chips to the top edge and some discoloured repair in one area (see images).
The decoration to the hinged lid is in reasonably good order, considering age and use, with wear to the edges, dirt and and some small tiny areas of loss. The metal work is tarnished, slightly mis-shapen and worn. Please see additional images on www.bellmans.co.uk.
