In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
The silver is hallmarked for Birmingham, 1889 and the maker Horton & Allay.

It is in good condition for its age and there are no major damages. The hinge is strong although the lid doesn't close as firmly as I would expect it to. There is no internal stopper. It has been cleaned and the silver gently polished and overall it displays very well.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
Tracked UK delivery £6, rest of the world £25.
