FAQs

Victorian card cases became essential accessories during the 19th century due to the strict social etiquettes surrounding calling cards and visiting protocols in polite society.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often utilizing techniques such as engine turning, hand engraving, repousse, and sometimes inlay with mother-of-pearl or tortoiseshell.

Authenticity is determined by checking for clear British hallmarks, which typically include a makers mark, standard mark, assay office mark, and date letter indicating the specific year of production.

They can be displayed on a mantelpiece, inside a glass-fronted cabinet, or placed thoughtfully on a coffee table as a sophisticated conversation piece.

Preservation involves storing silver in tarnish-resistant cloths or bags, avoiding abrasive cleaning agents, and using a soft microfibre cloth with a specialist silver polish only when necessary.
