I trade in small silver, jewellery and objets d'art. I sell primarily at antiques fairs and in cabinets in Christique Antique Centre in Dorking. I try to find unusual and interesting stock and like to keep turning it over, so I can buy more. Postage and packing are free within the UK - unless explicitly stated otherwise. All fine jewellery will be supplied with a box. If the box/case is described in the text, it will be the one photographed, but may not be if it is not mentioned explicitly. I keep hardly any stock at home, if you want to buy something and need it urgently, I will usually do it the next day, but it may take me some time to respond if you need extra photographs and/or details about the piece that I do not have to hand, as I typically visit the antiques centre just once a week. If you don't see what you're looking for - feel free to send an enquiry via the site. I have only been able to list a portion of my stock.

Description
A tortoiseshell, hing-lidded card-case with inlaid mother-of-pearl decoration. Small rectangular vacant white metal cartouche to top of lid. Circa 1900 - 10x8x1cm. Well-decorated, late Victorian or Edwardian, aesthetic-period card-case with mother-of-pearl inlay depicting a flower in bloom, similar but not matching to front and back. Further floral and foliate decoration to hinged lid. A good example of its type in very good condition. Would still serve its original purpose as it's a good size for modern cards.
