​The Presentation Box
​Construction: Solid dark wood with a beautiful grain and a decorative "beaded" border around the lid.
​Details: The box sits on four turned "bun" feet and features ornate brass pivoting latches.
​Interior: Lined with a dark protective felt to keep the silver-tone finish from scratching.
​Dimensions: Approximately 13 x 10 inches.

​This set is in Good Antique Condition.
​Cutlery: Shows minor surface wear and patina consistent with age and light use. No major pitting or loss of plating.

​Box: The wood has a rich, deep patina. There is age-related wear to the finish and the interior lining, which only adds to its authentic vintage character.

The latches require a gentle touch to align perfectly.
