This Edwardian silver card case originates from the early 20th century, made in Birmingham by silversmiths Deakin and Francis. The sterling silver construction displays a bright silver finish with extensive hand-engraved scrolling foliage across the entire surface. A central floral cartouche sits amidst detailed floral motifs enclosed within an oval border, complemented by scalloped edges and a horizontal hinge. Measuring 9.8 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, this pocket-sized accessory stores calling cards or modern cards securely. Inside, the metal reveals a gilt wash lining alongside a practical clasp mechanism near the top edge. Suitable for display upon an office desk or a mantelpiece, the object functions both as a decorative desk accessory and a functional container. The exterior surfaces show intricate relief work that catches ambient light, while the slender profile allows for effortless placement within domestic settings. Collectors of early 20th-century silverwork will appreciate the traditional Birmingham hallmarks and craftsmanship. The combination of engraved scrollwork and a sturdy metallic structure offers a classic example of Edwardian silversmithing intended for everyday utility or ornamental placement.

FAQs

Silver card cases were essential etiquette accessories in the nineteenth century, designed to store and protect formal visiting cards used during social calls.

Most antique card cases were crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring hand-engraved designs, engine turning, or repousse metalwork.

Authentic sterling silver pieces feature official British hallmarks, including a lion passant, city assay mark, makers initials, and a date letter.

These small decorative objects can be displayed open on an office desk, placed on a silver tray on a sideboard, or highlighted within a glass display cabinet.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and polish periodically using a specialized silver polishing cloth to prevent tarnish without removing delicate engraving detail.
