Victorian AESTHETIC Silver Calling Card Case HILLIARD & THOMASON

Antique Victorian Silver Calling Card Case hallmarked for Birmingham 1882 by renowned makers HILLIARD & THOMASON. Shaped wavy edge design with wonderful Aesthetic Movement Style Bright cut engraving featuring birds, butterflies, bees, insects, palm trees and foliage. Measuring 9 cm x 7 cm and weighs 61.7 grams. In very good condition, some surface wear, scratches and small dings, hallmarks clear, shuts well with a bit of movement at the hinge, however it does close well and remains closed even when held upside down (ie. It doesn’t come open on its own) A beautiful item indeed!!!!!
