The movement is generally a little dirty/neglected hence will require a gentle clean/service. The dial appears free from noticeable damage. The case is generally in good overall condition but with noticeable rubbing/wear from years of polishing. There is only one very small hole where the silver has been worn through - this is to a high relief scroll to the rear door near the clasp. The travelling case is intact but generally worn. The silk and velvet to the interior is a little dirty/discoloured but not holed. The exterior has lost most of its plush texture but the fabric covering is generally intact with only one small area (upper corner of the front panel) where it has been worn through.Timepiece has an integral winding key.
