1903 British antique sterling silver card case, 95g, John Rose
SKU: 202405244334
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 by John Rose of Birmingham, England, dating from 1903.
It is decorated with a unique leaf pattern carved all over.
The cartouche has the first owner's initials engraved on it.
It is large enough to fit current business cards without any problem and can hold about 20 business cards.
The silver is thick for this type of card case, making it sturdy and well-constructed.
We hope that this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one!
