1898 British Antique Scroll-Decorated Sterling Silver Card Case, 79g, Joseph Gloster

We would like to introduce you to an antique British sterling silver card case.

This is a work by Joseph Gloster, Birmingham, England, 1898.
It features deep engravings with botanical scroll patterns and floral motifs.
There is a dent and a crack on one corner, but otherwise it is in good condition.
It is large enough to fit current business cards without any problems and can hold more than 20 business cards.

I hope this "once in a lifetime" encounter will be a special one!
