Description

Picked up a filigree cigarette case at an estate sale. I think the frame is some sort of silver because it's a bit tarnished. The rest of the fine mesh design work seems to look almost a brassy gold color. I suspect it is also silver but just tarnished much more that the frame. It is very ornate. I would like to know the time period, origin, the materials used, and value. Also, should I try cleaning it or keep it as is
