픽업 사용 가능 여부를 로드할 수 없습니다.
A beautiful and increasingly scarce antique calling card case dating to the early 19th century, crafted from luminous mother-of-pearl panels framed with sterling silver details. These elegant accessories were once carried by ladies and gentlemen to protect their calling cards during social visits, serving as both a practical necessity and a symbol of refinement.
The front features a striking geometric mosaic of iridescent mother-of-pearl, beautifully catching the light with flashes of pink, green, blue, and gold. Delicate sterling silver accents frame the design, showcasing the craftsmanship associated with fine personal accessories of the period.
The clasp remains in good working order, and the case opens and closes properly. One sterling silver panel is missing, which has been reflected in the pricing, but the piece remains structurally sound, fully functional, and displays beautifully.
At over 200 years old, this calling card case carries the character and history expected of a well-loved antique. Whether displayed in a cabinet of curiosities, incorporated into a dressing table vignette, or reserved for special occasions, it remains a remarkable example of early 19th-century decorative arts.
