SKU: 202504185240
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 is a work from the "George Unite" in Birmingham, England in 1881 .
This is a highly artistic card case that combines intricate carvings of various patterns.
In the centre of one side is a carved portrait of what appears to be Shakespeare.
It is large enough to fit current business cards without any problem and can hold about 15 business cards.
It is made of thick silver and is in good condition with no scratches or distortions.
We hope that this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one!
