FAQs

Calling card cases became essential Victorian accessories due to strict etiquette surrounding social visits and calling cards in the 19th century.

They were typically fashioned from sterling silver using techniques such as engine-turning, repousse, hand-engraving, and occasionally incorporated mother-of-pearl or tortoise-shell.

Authenticity is verified by examining the hallmarks, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark for sterling silver, a city assay office mark, and a date letter.

They make excellent display objects when placed on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or coffee table within a decorative tray, adding historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the desirable oxidisation from engraved details.
