Condition report:
The mirror plate shows significant foxing, desilvering, and clouding typical of its age. The ebony components exhibit light surface scratches and minor wear from handling. The bristles show signs of previous use, while the comb appears to be intact. The interior fabric lining of the case is heavily creased and shows minor spotting and discolouration. The exterior of the case shows scuffing to the textured surface and wear to the edges and corners.
