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

Calling card cases became prominent during the Victorian era, when social etiquette required visitors to present a engraved card upon arrival at a residence. Silver cases served as portable indicators of status and taste during formal social calls.

While tortoiseshell, mother-of-pearl, and papier-mache were popular, hallmarked sterling silver was among the most durable materials, often decorated with hand engraving, chasing, or engine turning.

Authentic British sterling silver examples feature a full set of silver hallmarks, including the lion passant mark, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark, alongside signs of hand-engraved precision.

These decorative objects can be integrated into contemporary decor on a desk tray, styled on a glass-topped coffee table, or displayed inside a collectors cabinet alongside historical silver.

Dust regularly with a microfibre cloth and clean periodically using a specialized silver polishing cloth. Avoid abrasive liquid cleansers that might strip natural oxidisation from deep-set engraving.
