A sedan chair card case is a novelty silver container fashioned in the miniature shape of an 18th-century sedan chair, typically used in the Victorian era to hold visiting cards or playing cards.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often utilizing techniques such as repousse, chasing, and openwork filigree to achieve intricate decorative surfaces.

Authenticity is typically verified by locating British hallmark stamps indicating the assay office, date letter, silver standard, and makers mark.

Such miniature objects can be displayed on a mantelpiece, coffee table, or within a glass-fronted cabinet as a focal point of historical interest.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialized silver cloth to avoid removing delicate details, and stored in a low-humidity environment to prevent tarnishing.
