Large English Victorian Papier Mache Card Case

Because of its larger size, 4 1/2" by 3" it is a perfect size for today's business cards and is sure to make an impression. Just pull a card out of this in front of clients and watch your business grow.

The piece is made of papier mache and lacquered black. The back is plain but the front has a wonderful central design of flowers all inlaid with mother of pearl. The borders have a gold painted vine design which is inlaid with mother of pearl and abalone. Stunning!

When you open the hinged lid by pressing the side button it reveals a red silk lining (somewhat faded) and still has the original ivory trim surrounding both the upper and lower lid. A very small section of this ivory veneer trim is missing, but the case still latches well.

The piece is in good antique condition with crazing to the lacquer which is common on a piece this old. It will still function nicely if you wish to use it or make a charming display piece.

Referenced shipping cost is inclusive of signature delivery confirmation, as required by Paypal on all purchases exceeding $250.00.
