The anterior surface of this vintage card case is embellished with a hand-painted panel depicting bi-colour nicotinia flowers on a white guilloche enamel background.

The hallmarks struck to the anterior surface of the reverse cover include:

This exceptional example of vintage silverware features no maker's mark; the maker is therefore unknown.

This vintage silver card case is a very good gauge of silver, very good quality and in excellent condition.

There are minor surface scratches to the surface of the case, in keeping with the age.

The enamel is in perfect condition.

The interior of the case shows some signs of wear, but can be considered to be in good condition.

The hallmarks to the surface of the posterior cover are all very clear.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of vintage silverware.
