22cm wide
Sold for £550
Estimated at £150 - £200
Box structurally good, hinge functioning well, top has not warped. Lower three books have a different covering to the top book, the top book has wear and scratches and losses to the leather so is feasible that the bottom three are re covered. Musical element functioning, comb in good order. Decanters free from chips and cracks. Glasses free from chips and cracks but one with a deep scratch. Gilding on the decanters with very minimal wear, glasses good.
