Larger box is 5 inches in width approx. Smaller box is 3.5 inches in width approx. Good antique condition - some scratches Lion on front of both boxes I think the silverplate is over copper - photo of the back of the larger box shows copper under insignia Both oxes open and shut - hinges work Good for storing vanity table items - bobby pins, small jewerly, keepsakes, knick knacks, etc. Can be polished more
