This string box has a lifespan of more than 100 years, even 200 years, and it is by no means in new condition. It must therefore be taken into account that despite a rigorous selection and description in order to present a quality set, it may contain minimal defects caused by the passage of time in addition to those indicated in the description. To have an impeccable condition, I invite you to turn to new or more modern objects.
