The interior of the case is made in silver gilt. Marked inside with 84 Kokoshnik, cyrillic mark of Peter Baskakov. Rare and very fine piece of antique Russian silver perfect for those looking to add a real treasure to their collection.

The process was popular in Russia and it was used by world knows silversmiths as Fabergé.
