Silver compact has some staining where the elastic has rubbed the silver gilt interior of the cigarette compartment. The compact (powder) compartment has lost its mirror. The interior of the applied wreath has the central panel missing. The lid of the bonbonniere needs attention as the hinge has broken. The magnifying glass is slightly scratched, but the handle is in good condition.
