FAQs

Silver card cases gained popularity in the 19th century alongside strict social etiquette surrounding calling cards, allowing individuals to exchange cards when visiting acquaintances.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, utilising techniques such as repousse, chasing, engine-turning, and hand engraving to decorate the exterior surfaces.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmarks, which indicate the assay office, makers mark (such as the Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co.), and the standard of silver, alongside appropriate age-related wear and patination.

These pieces can be displayed on a coffee table or within a cabinet as part of a curated collection of small curiosities, adding metallic texture and historical interest to a room.

Preservation involves storing the silver in a tarnish-resistant cloth or environment, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners, and using a soft microfibre cloth to gently remove dust and maintain the natural patina.
