A Victorian Solid Silver Card Case with Floral Engravings - Hilliard & Thomason 1880

Description and Details 

This intricate solid silver card case was made during the Victorian era by silversmith Hilliard & Thomason of Birmingham in 1880.

Both sides of the case are intricately hand-engraved with multiple types of foliate and floral motifs split into sections by double-lined borders.

The front side of the case features an unmonogrammed cartouche - ideal for adding personal initials/engravings. 

The hinge and lid of the case function well with a tight closure that will keep all contents inside safely. The case will fit modern credit/debit cards, business cards and a few folded banknotes.

The edges of the case are additionally curved and add to the overall elegant and fine aesthetics of this Victorian card case.

Full set of hallmarks are clearly present on the side on the bezel upon which the lid closes.

A wonderful solid silver card case for anyone looking to add a piece of fine Victorian silverware to their collection, or as a gift to someone special. Ideal for both display or practical usage - a subtle yet indulging way of standing out from the usual wallets and cases to the modern era.
