FAQs

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, social etiquette required visitors to leave calling cards, and silver card cases were crafted to protect these paper cards from damage while in transit.

These cases were typically manufactured from sterling silver or silver plate, using hand chasing, floral engraving, engine turning, and die-stamping techniques alongside spring-hinged mechanisms.

Authentic British examples carry official assay hallmarks detailing the silver purity standard, city assay mark, date letter, and makers initials, usually struck inside the rim or lid boundary.

These pieces can be displayed on an office desk as functional business card holders, styled on a decorative tray, or arranged within a glass glazed cabinet alongside silver curiosities.

Preserve silver card cases by polishing gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver foam, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could erode detailed surface engravings.
