FAQs

Silver card cases gained immense popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries as essential social accessories for carrying visiting cards during formal calls.

These items were predominantly crafted from solid sterling silver, often featuring intricate hand-engraved patterns, scrollwork, and occasionally personalised monograms.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the metal, which typically include a makers mark, the standard mark for sterling silver, the town assay office mark, and a date letter.

Such small collectables can be displayed neatly on a mantelpiece, inside a glass-fronted cabinet, or atop a stack of books on a coffee table as a focal point of historical interest.

Preservation involves storing pieces in a dry environment and cleaning them sparingly with a non-abrasive silver cloth to maintain the natural oxidisation and protect the delicate engraving.
