DESCRIPTION |
An exceptionally large Edwardian silver cigar or cigarette box. Actually it is more of a chest than a box. Piano hinged lid with a matt gold interior. The cedar wood lining is lacking the partition piece. A panel of silver has been very professionally added to the front panel, most likely to cover a presentation inscription. The coin by the right leg is a British one penny. | ||
