1856 English Antique Solid Silver Card Case 59g Hilliard&Thomason

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

This is an extremely rare sterling silver card case created in 1856 by the prestigious "Hilliard & Thomason" in Birmingham, England, during the golden age of the Victorian era. It shines with a freshness that belies its almost 170 years of age, conveying the splendor of aristocratic society of that time to the present day.

The intricate hand-carved engraving covering the entire surface is truly the pinnacle of craftsmanship. The blooming flowers and elegant scroll patterns are exquisitely harmonized with the wavy edge design, providing a blissful sense of satisfaction every time you hold it. It is a masterpiece that not only adds exceptional individuality in modern social settings as a business card holder, but also allows you to enjoy the pleasure of keeping it close as a witness to history.

It is sized to hold modern business cards without issue, fitting about 15 cards.
