patinated and gilt iron, leather

Condition Report:
Overall in good condition. This vide-poche, or glove compartment, presents with signs of expected age, namely darkening and loss to the gilt and patina on the outer surfaces as well as areas of both darkening and discoloration to the leather covering the inside, all consistent with age and gentle handling. The leather with some very light lifting to the surface concentrated to two upper corners and not visually distracting.
