Hallmarked and darling, this little 2.5" diameter round casket is from my own collections, now being disbursed. Velvet lining still inside, some tatters to that (see images), and photos showing all angles of view plus the hallmarks. I hope you will enjoy it as I have these many years.
Very good condition throughout, age and type considered. Has a few visible dings or very small pushes visible. The silver-inlaid tortoise shell lid is just beautiful in mottled chocolate to cognac. No inner lid liner so you can really see the beautiful coloration once you open it, too. The old padded silk lining fabric is tattered, might wish to replace it. We leave them original, however, as shown. Full measurements noted on the photos.
IMPORTANT NOTE regarding antique tortoise shell or ivory: We are great supporters of protection for endangered species in our modern world. We never buy or sell anything 100 years or newer; we donate to anti-poaching organizations; we don't hunt; we conserve in ways that impact global warming (we're totally solar at home), knowing those measures also protect the animals in the wild today. We also recognize the vast cultural history we preserve with our care and reverence for these antique objects, and agree with CITES that objects over 100 years of age have nothing whatsoever to do with species depletion in our current world.
Our offering exceeds the age limitation of "more than 100 years of age", and is well within the exemption for CITES regulation. If imported, met the CITES regulation. This item will be handled and shipped from our Utah business, and is not available for shipment internationally, nor within the USA to California, NY, Nevada, Hawaii, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington if it contains ivory, sorry. Please see our small print for more details.
