Victorian Mother-of-Pearl Calling Card Case with Engraved Floral Panels

Stunning antique Victorian mother-of-pearl calling card case, its iridescent shell panels arranged in a graceful diamond lattice that shimmers with soft rainbow tones. Each segment is delicately engraved with flowing floral and foliate motifs, framed by finely textured cross-hatched borders and set within a warm gilt-metal frame with a hinged clasp.

A romantic relic of 19th-century elegance, this little treasure once carried calling cards in the age of genteel visits. Today it makes an exquisite vanity or desk accent, a jewel-like display piece, or a heartfelt gift for the collector of antique curiosities.

Measures 4” tall by 2.75” wide.
