1899 British Antique Sterling Silver Card Case 47g William Neale

This is a sterling silver card case made by William Neale in England in 1899, featuring angels peeking out from the clouds with adorable expressions.

Using the repoussé technique, where a three-dimensional pattern is created by hammering from the back of the metal, the angels' wings and even individual strands of hair are elegantly rendered. The slim size, which can hold about five credit cards (Japanese business cards are a very tight fit), comfortably fits into today's smart lifestyle. The quiet luster of pure silver, passed down for over 120 years, is an exquisite item that brings a touch of quality and richness the moment it's taken out of your bag.
