Malachite table box, 20th c., of rectangular form, the exterior tiled with malachite, top mounted with gilt-metal scrolled foliates, central floral motifs, lined interior base, approx 2"h, 3.75"w, 2.75"d, 1.25lbs

09/24/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT 3030: Upon close visual review, I do not currently observe hairlines/ fractures and UV light examination is unremarkable, the lid fits comfortably within the box, the underside of one corner of lid and the top edges of box having a few minute fleabites, which are so small I am struggling to capture them on camera, this minute chipping is typical and consistent with inherent rubs/ contact of the lid against the box, the metal mount remains secure and exhibits small flaked losses to the gilt finish
