Superb Victorian Silver Sovereign Case Birmingham 1896

This pillow shaped silver sovereign case is beautifully engraved to the front and back in an ivy leaf pattern worked in relief with smooth and textured detail. The front has a shield shaped empty cartouche in the centre.

There is a single sprung compartment to hold a sovereign, and the cover of this receptacle has fine engine turned engraving. The lid of the case can hold stamps, which are kept in place via a small edge detail.

Superb craftmanship is very evident in this lovely case.

 

Condition: in lovely antique collector's condition, no dents or marks to the silver and the lid opens and closes perfectly.
