FAQs

During the 19th and early 20th centuries, calling card cases were used to carry paper visiting cards presented during formal social calls. These compact containers protected the paper cards from damage while reflecting the social etiquette of the era.

Card cases were crafted from a variety of materials including sterling silver, tortoiseshell, mother-of-pearl, papier-mache, and ivory. Silver examples often featured engine-turned engraving, hand-chasing, or smooth polished finishes.

Authentic British sterling silver pieces feature official assay hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for sterling purity, a town mark indicating the assay office (such as an anchor for Birmingham), a maker mark, and a specific date letter.

An antique silver card case can be displayed on a vanity tray, placed on a Gentlemans library desk, or framed inside a shallow shadow box alongside historical accessories.

Silver card cases should be gently polished using a soft microfiber cloth specifically treated for silver care. To prevent oxidisation and tarnish, store the item in a dry environment away from moisture and direct sunlight.
