Late 19th century.

 

The metal was once painted gold but the colour has gone. There are only small traces left in places.
It is also tarnished and shows signs of age and wear.

The recipient has been heavily used and there are marks and corrosion inside. It was originally painted blue and some traces of paint are still visible.
Small traces of glue on one side of the receptacle. It has a lid that doesn't close properly. 

The velvet is very worn and the pile is gone in large places. Discoloured / slightly stained. 
The fabric is getting unstuck in one small place at the top.

Paper backing is worn and has some damages.
A loop at the back to hang.
Some marks and imperfections commensurate with age and use such as scratches or tarnish marks.
