The hardware suite comprises a central lock plate with integral lift handle, twin ornate side latches with quatrefoil escutcheons, cast steel handle mounts with leather carrying straps, and original steel casters to the base. Interior fully paper-lined in a printed geometric pattern.
The lot includes a removable two-compartment lift-out tray and the original skeleton key.
