Antique Mother of Pearl Calling Card Case, 19th c. WOW!

Antiques : Boxes, Caddies, Cases

 

Here we have a very nice 19th century English MOP calling card case. It is made of multiple diamond-cut mother of pearl plaques, a silver push button and name plate. The unique aspect of this piece is the fact that the name plate has been left blank throughout all these years - this adds to the value! The inside is lined with red velvet and ivory.

Condition: Great condition. There are some natural hairline cracks and slight repairs to a few of the plaques (they have stayed in tact). The case closes and opens perfectly!

Measurements: 3 3/4 inches x 2 3/4 inches

Item ID: B-2
