Circa:
1880 plus
Price: $220.00 USD
Description: Lovely Victorian card case - made in mother of pearl with contrast triangles of New Zealand paua shell. Concertina card holders inside, with silk lining. Case measures 108 mm x 76 mm x 20 mm (4.1/4 inches by 3 inches by 3/4 inch). Very good condition, a few minor faults: slight loss of shell to a couple of the corners (see photo), and some tears to the card compartments inside. Dates to late 19th century.

Circa:
1860-1890s
Price: $364.00 USD
Description: A Victorian period calling card case - made from Mother of Pearl with a silver insert presentation panel (not yet engraved with anyone’s initials) and ivory inside edges. Still in its original presentation box - beautiful Morocco leather with a crimson silk interior. The card case itself has a purple/blue silk interior, with two pockets of blue card. Once this case would have had a concertina style interior of blue card pockets, but it is all missing except the end two. However, this means that the case can now be used for business cards (our cards are so much bigger than the original calling cards, that the old fittings are too small for today’s use). Card case measures 11cm by 7.75cm by 1.5cm thick (4.1/4 inches by 3 inches by 5/8 inch thick). Excellent condition, except for the inside previously describes. Clasp is good and strong.

Circa:
1880-1905
Price: $144.00 USD
Description: A ladies’ small calling card case - mother of pearl in lovely cream, pinks and greens. Victorian or Edwardian period (circa approx. 1880-1905). Flip-top lid. Catch works well. Measures 9cm by 5.5cm and 1cm thick (3.1/2 inches by 2.1/4 inches by 3/8 inch thick). Very good condition - one tiny sliver of pearl absent by lid opening on side (see c/u photo) and a small dent in the pearl on the opposite hinge edge (which may be natural). A very pretty item.
