Oversesas Purchasers please note: Due to the value of this item, I am having to limit this to UK purchasers only

Antique and vintage silver by its very nature has been previously used. Silver is a comparatively soft metal and a combination of many years use invariably leaves its mark. I do endeavour to describe all items accurately but do not expect any antique to be in “as new condition”.
