About the Item

This elegant antique card case is a masterclass in Victorian-era aesthetic design. Crafted from fine sterling silver with a substantial weight of 2.642 troy ounces, the piece features a captivating asymmetrical Rococo style composition. The front is dominated by a polished, shield-shaped central cartouche, perfectly framed by intricate repoussé and chased detailing. Delicate floral sprays and sweeping foliate scrolls dance across the surface, accented by a whimsical butterfly perched near the corner. A distinctive "fan" or pleated motif adds structural texture to the left side, while a dainty ribbon tie anchors the base. Though apparently unmarked, the heavy gauge and crisp craftsmanship suggest a maker of significant skill. Its rounded corners and side-hinged lid ensure a smooth, tactile experience, making it a sophisticated accessory for a collector of fine vintage metalwork. This card holder weighs 2.642 troy ounces. This piece is apparently unmarked, though there may be a mostly rubbed out mark on the interior rim (it appears like one, but it is very unclear).
