I absolutely love this box - the gold paintwork has a slight shimmer to it which gives it an iridescent effect when the light catches it. The inside is gorgeous as well!
Condition: There is some damage to the lock area. The painted decoration is worn in places, mainly on the top, but this is all part of its charm and doesn’t lessen its appeal.
