Hammer price: | £5,500 |
Condition Report: There are one or two tiny marks to the enamel, visible under strong magnification, these do not go down to the gold. There is one tiny scuff mark to one corner. The hinge closes nice and tightly. Overall lovely quality and good condition. As the box does not have any British import hallmarks we unable to say what carat of gold the box is made from. It is likely to be 14ct gold or better.
