AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A splendid burgundy lacquered wooden box with a silver 800 lid and a perimeter band.
Very special is the craftsmanship because it is not squared but slightly rounded on the sides, with a Bordeaux lacquer finish.
On the top, there is a sheet of 800 silver worked with an oval circle in the center, and at the bottom, a bow. It is in excellent condition with some signs of age, with the silver always polished, maintaining that nostalgic feel of the past. It can be used by collectors of boxes together with others, as a jewelry box being internally lined with ivory-colored felt, or as a cigarette holder, card holder, or for other objects, including on a desk for pens.
It is from the 1970s.
Measures length 18 cm, width 13 cm.
Thoroughly cleaned
The outer lower part is also lined.
It was part of my family's collection of boxes that I am selling due to the quantity.
I ship with a courier instead of Italian Post because it arrives faster and includes double packaging with lots of bubbles, sponge, and Messi in a larger box. Also, communication with the courier is simpler. The price difference is due to the size of the box and the buyer's location. Eastern European countries are more expensive, as are Cyprus, Malta, and Norway, as well as other parts of the world like the Canary Islands, Malta, Taiwan, and China.
