1907 British Antique Sterling Silver Card Case with Chain, 89g, Colen Hewer, Cheshire
SKU: 202508305652
We would like to introduce a British antique, pure silver card case.
This is a work by " Colen Hewer Cheshire " from Chester, England, in 1907.
The entire surface is decorated with plant scroll patterns and floral motifs.
It features a unique flap-type design, where the flap automatically closes using a spring mechanism.
It has a chain and a ring for the finger, so it is likely that it was used by a woman.
The inside is lined with cloth and gold plating, making it less likely for business cards to get dirty.
It's sized to easily fit current business cards and can hold about 15 of them.
I hope this "once-in-a-lifetime" encounter will lead to a special meeting!
