FAQs

Calling card cases gained immense popularity during the Victorian era as essential social accessories used by the upper and middle classes to exchange visiting cards during formal social calls.

They were typically fashioned from sterling silver, mother-of-pearl, tortoiseshell, or papier-mache, often decorated with intricate hand-engraving, repousse work, or engine-turning.

Authenticity is usually verified through hallmarks stamped on the metal, indicating the assay office, standard of silver purity, and date letter corresponding to the Victorian period.

These compact pieces can be displayed on a decorative tray on a coffee table, styled within a bookcase shelf display, or integrated into a desk setup as a subtle nod to historical craftsmanship.

Silver should be kept in a dry environment and polished sparingly with a soft microfibre cloth designed for silver to maintain its patina without wearing away delicate hand-engraving.
