About the Item

A stunning example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, this antique sterling silver calling card case was made in 1895 by the renowned London silversmith William Comyns. Finely cast in high-relief repoussé, the case features an intricate Rococo design with scrolling foliage, floral motifs, and playful cherubs, all surrounding a blank central cartouche ideal for personalisation. This highly decorative Victorian card case reflects the elegance and social customs of the period, when calling cards were a symbol of sophistication and status. Whether displayed as part of a fine silver collection or used as a statement accessory, this card case captures the romantic opulence of the Victorian era. The card case measures 4"(10cm) tall, by 3"(7.5cm) wide, by 0.5"(1cm) deep, and weighs 2.74 troy ounces.
