1874 British antique sterling silver card case 64g Robert Thornton

We would like to introduce you to an antique British sterling silver card case.

This card case 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 Robert Thornton in Birmingham, England in 1874.
Both sides are beautifully decorated with floral and scroll motifs, with the first owner's initials and date engraved on one side and a bouquet of flowers engraved on the other.
It is large enough to fit current business cards without any problems and can hold more than 15 business cards.

I hope this "once in a lifetime" encounter will be a special one!
