About the Item

A beautifully embellished Victorian 925 sterling silver card case that intricately captures the enchanting influence of Japanese aesthetics prevalent during the Aesthetic Movement era. The obverse side showcases a dainty bird gracefully darting above a serene pond surrounded by canes. Adjacent to this scene is a rectangular section adorned with artfully crafted bamboo trees. Adding to the allure, a mesmerizing pyramidal illusion is skillfully created in the upper right corner through a thoughtfully designed triangular motif. On the reverse side, two birds gracefully perch upon blooming Japanese Sakura flowers, framed by a central rectangle. Please note: the money is for display purpose. Made in England, Birmingham, 1880 Maker: George Unite Sons Fully hallmarked. Dimensions - Length x width x depth: 10 x 7.2 x 1 cm Weight: 104 grams Condition: The card case is pre-owned, has age-related surface wear, interior has wear and tear, otherwise good condition overall.
