Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

This caddy has warping whereby the lid is not flush with the body of the box.

There are some losses to the metal framework which holds the box together.

The baize on the base is worn.

Stringing has come away in places, most noticeably at the front near the escutcheon and at the base of the box.

There are minor chips and losses throughout but this does not detract from the aesthetics of the box or its stability.

The original liner 'foil' is lacking.

Please ask to see additional images to assist further.
