Condition and Character: 
As part of the circular economy, this antique item has been pre-treasured and loved since circa 1890. As is typical for an item of this age, there are a few fine scratches on the silver, and an attractive patina that speaks to its history. The agate panels are well-preserved, with only minor to light nicks and nibbles visible upon close inspection. These characteristics are commensurate with the age of this exquisite antique item and do not detract from its overall beauty and charm. Instead, they add to its unique character and authenticity as a genuine piece of history.
