1883 British antique sterling silver card case 47g George Unite
SKU: 202405104338
We would like to introduce you to an antique British sterling silver card case.
This is a card case that would have been custom-made for an upper-class person at the time.
The surface decoration is so beautiful that no two pieces are alike.
This was made in 1883 by George Unite in Birmingham, England.
George Unite was a master craftsman who left behind a large number of elegant silver products featuring plant motifs.
This one also has intricate hand-carved leaf patterns.
It is large enough to fit current business cards without any problem and can hold about 15 business cards.
There is a small crack in the hinge, but it does not interfere with opening and closing the lid.
We hope that this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one!
