The lid is warped and gapping at the front to approx. 3mm. There is some cracking and loss to the joint at the front right corner of the lid. There are some small losses back left corner, some replaced veneers on the right side panel; this is crude work. There is loss to the beading around the same panel.
The two caddy covers are present; one is split. The cover finials are replaced with hair ties. The caddy has a key which simply turns, it doesn't operate the lock. The caddy is a good colour and patination where originality exists. There are no fee. It would benefit from some restorations.
