This slimline card and stamp case, dating from the Arts and Crafts period of 1910, is fashioned from sterling silver with a silver-gilt interior. The photograph reveals a hand-hammered planished surface texture across the rectangular body, a spring-loaded hinged lid with visible thumbpieces, and minor surface wear. Measuring 8.3 cm by 4.5 cm, the accessory is proportioned for pocket carriage. Today, this piece serves as a sophisticated desktop accessory for an office desk, functioning as a refined receptacle for business cards, stamps, or small notes in a gentleman's library. The silver-gilt combination provides a tactile desk companion that complements traditional writing desks and modern workspaces alike.

FAQs

Arts and Crafts silver is defined by hand-hammered (planished) surfaces, organic forms, and visible handiwork that deliberately contrasts with machine-made industrial production from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Pocket cases from the Edwardian era were typically constructed from sterling silver, occasionally finished with a silver-gilt interior or exterior, and shaped using hand-hammering techniques to achieve textured, durable surfaces.

Authentic pieces feature British hallmarks indicating the silver purity, assay office location, date letter, and makers mark, along with genuine planished textures that reflect hand tooling.

Antique silver pocket cases can be displayed on an office desk, styled atop a leather-bound book on a bookshelf, or arranged inside a glass display dome alongside other small metalwork collectibles.

Silver gilt surfaces require gentle handling; clean with a soft, lint-free cloth and avoid abrasive polishes or chemical dips that can strip the delicate gilding layer.
