1896 British antique sterling silver double door card case 120g George Unite Very good condition
SKU: 202503215137
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 the George Unite in Birmingham, England in 1896.
George Unite is a master craftsman who left behind many elegant silver accessories featuring plant motifs.
It has a double opening, a leather-lined pocket and a small push-type pencil.
The entire piece is decorated with motifs of flowers and birds, and the initials of the giver and recipient are engraved in the center of both lids.
Both the sterling silver exterior and the leather interior lining are in excellent condition with little signs of use.
We hope that this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one!
