Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the Edwardian period, silver card cases were essential social accessories used to carry paper visiting or calling cards. Etiquette dictated leaving a card when visiting acquaintances, making these decorated silver cases a key indicator of social standing.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver and constructed with precise hand-engraving, machine turning, or repousse metalwork. Many designs featured hinged lids, press-stud closures, or stylized envelope structures.

Authentic British silver card cases bear official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling purity, a makers mark, a town mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the Edwardian era between 1901 and 1910.

An antique silver card case makes an elegant decorative accent when displayed flat or propped open on an office desk, styled on a mirrored tray alongside vanity items, or displayed inside a glass curio cabinet.

To preserve the finish and prevent excessive tarnish, wipe the silver periodically with a dry microfibre cloth. For deeper tarnish, apply a specialized silver cream gently with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive pads that could wear away fine engraving.
