Condition -
Overall this silver snuff box is in very good condition. There is very little rubbing to the decoration. There are a couple of minor dents to the two corners at the opening end of the box. The curve is slightly flattened in the base through age and use. There is a very slight gap when the box is closed but this is common with curved boxes as they get use. None of the above detracts from this piece and it is a lovely collectable George III snuff box. Minor marks commensurate with age and light use.
