FAQs

An Edwardian sterling silver card case is a portable pocket accessory manufactured during the reign of King Edward VII (19011910), designed specifically to hold paper calling or visiting cards.

These cases were typically constructed from sterling silver sheets that were pressed, chased, or worked using repousse techniques to create detailed relief patterns, complete with precision-fitted hinges and spring clasps.

Authentic British pieces bear a set of stamped hallmarks including the lion passant for sterling purity, an assay office symbol, a specific date letter representing the year of manufacture, and a makers mark.

Small antique silver silver objects can be styled on an office desk tray, housed within a glass tabletop display box, or arranged inside a curio cabinet to highlight detailed metalwork.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and gently polishing with a dedicated silver cloth to remove light oxidisation without wearing down delicate surface details.
