Presentation
This canteen is supplied in an Edwardian style mahogany canteen with two brass handled drawers. This attractively shaped box has a serpentine fascia, stands on four ogee feet and has a green velvet lined interior with each piece having its own slot to prevent scuffing. The box is in generally excellent condition, however there is a repair to the far right top corner (see final photo).
As with all the canteens available from our web-site, we are happy to send a sample place setting for approval, on receipt of a fully refundable surety payment, prior to purchasing this canteen.
