Spiritualist Movement Occult Tarot Card Reader Caddy Black Steel, Bronze, Lined
About the Item
The spiritualist movement may have begun in the 19th century in America, but it was still alive and well at the turn of the century, when this magnificent and rare occult collectible was created.
This black enameled steel box with a 56" brass ball chain was designed for a tarot card reader to transport her cards; perhaps moving from table to table at a social event. The interior of the box is lined with thick velour to prevent the tarot cards from becoming bent. The length of the box accommodates larger tarot cards of the era, as well as the shorter ones found today.
The front and top is embellished with detailed quarter moons and the corners of the box feature bronze corners, to prevent denting. The long chain is threaded through a pair of brass rings and the top lifts straight up and cannot be lost, because it remains always attached.
A stunning, mysterious, entirely hand-crafted artifact from a period in American history when the occult -magic, mysticism, mediumship, fortune telling, psychic phenomena, séances and the like- captivated the mainstream.
