1903 British Antique Sterling Silver Large Card Case 97g Henry Matthews

Allow us to introduce this antique British sterling silver card case.

This sterling silver card case, boasting an impressive substantial feel, was crafted in 1903 by the renowned Birmingham master, Henry Matthews. What is particularly noteworthy is its lavish use of silver; weighing 97g, it is considerably heavier than typical antique card cases, conveying its undeniable authentic value the moment it is held.

The entire surface features sophisticated Edwardian styling, with flowing scroll patterns and intricate floral engravings deeply carved into the thick silver. The three-dimensional shadows created by reflected light are testament to the skilled artisan who meticulously hammered and carved it over time.
