1916 English Antique Sterling Silver Card Case with Chain 71g Edwin Joseph Houlston

We would like to introduce a sterling silver card case from antique Britain.

This is a sterling silver card case with a chain, made in 1916 by the silversmith "Edwin Joseph Houlston" in Birmingham, England. Despite being in the midst of World War I, its elegant and functional design, which evokes the social culture of the time, is eye-catching.

The delicate hand-engraving all over the case is the work of a skilled craftsman. The flowing botanical patterns sparkle in the light, and the soft luster unique to silver provides a deep sense of satisfaction every time it is held. From the accompanying chain to the finger ring, everything is made of sterling silver from that period, indicating an uncompromising commitment to materials.

It is large enough to hold modern business cards without any problem, fitting about 20 cards.
