Beyond a Cincinnati Legacy: The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fleischmann III, Part I

In overall fine condition. The gilt decoration is fairly radiant throughout, though the top of the lid shows more rubbing and darkening to the surface due to handling and use. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Lacking the sewing bag from the underside, but retaining the original frame. There is an old age crack to the the lid that has caused lifting, cracking and minor loss to the lacquer along its edges. Few other areas of veneer lifting or cracking.
