1897 British antique sterling silver sliding card case 80g HENRY WILLIAMSON
SKU: 202410054678
We would like to introduce you to an antique British sterling silver card case.
This is a card case that would have been custom-made for an upper-class person at the time.
The surface decoration is so beautiful that no two pieces are alike.
This work was created by HENRY WILLIAMSON , Birmingham, England in 1897.
Both sides are completely decorated with intricate motifs, and the cartouche on one side features the initials of the first owner.
It has a very unusual gimmick in which when you slide the center part on the back, the cards inside come out one by one.
It is large enough to fit your current business cards without any problems and can hold more than 15 business cards.
We hope that this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one!
