18thc.  shagreen outer case

Dimensions :

Gilt brass base, with green shagreen covering, gilt rims and ornamental pins.

Good unrestored condition. The shagreen is in good condition, with a nice green colour. There are a few small areas of wear, but generally very good.
There is even wear to the gilt rims and pins. There are a few pins missing.

The hinge and catch button are fine but the end of the catch spring has broken off, so the bezel does not snap shut.
