Condition

Overall excellent condition. The silver inlays with very minor evidence of tarnish, which could be removed with polishing should one desire. The large rectangular box with only rectangular inlay is only box not hinged and is fitted with a central divider to the interior. Both the boxes with the diamond shaped inlays and the adjacent box in the catalogue illustration with the horizontal striped inlays are fitted with a stationary central divider to the interior. The rosewood with beautiful figuring and only very slight surface scratches, concentrated to the underside. A superb opportunity to acquire a large collection of Hansen designs.
