An historically interesting piece.
The box has a beautiful brass plaque to the lid for Great George Street Chapel and has a solid working lock with a key. With fine brass handles to the sides.
The condition is very good overall with no splits and very little wear to the plating. One plate has a small ding to its bowl and there is one small dent to the handle on one of the flagons. One flagon has had a strengthening screw inserted to hold the finial - see photo. The flagons have very clean interiors. A couple of very small instances of copper bleed to a couple of the pieces but these are hardly noticeable. One flagon has a slight wobble, but overall the set is in wonderful condition.
The box interior is a bit worn to the linings but all pieces are supplied with individual felt bags (not pictured). Slight wear around the lock.
