1867 British antique sterling silver card case Robert Thornton
SKU: 171813519
[Item introduction] Card case
It is a card case that would have been made to order by the upper class at the time.
The decoration on the surface is so beautiful that no two are the same.
This is from the Robert Thornton workshop in Birmingham, England in 1867.
It is a very beautiful card case with amazingly detailed engravings on the entire surface.
The cartouche on both sides is engraved with something like a coat of arms and an initial monogram,
The coat of arms reads in Latin "ubi libertas ibi patria" (where there is freedom there is a motherland).
It is in a very good storage condition with almost no scratches or distortion for a thing over 150 years old.
About 15 business cards are included in the size that can be entered without problems with current business cards.
We hope this lovely card case will add some color to your day!
