This is a lovely and unsual Antique Victorian Solid Silver Two Pack Playing Card Holder in the form of a Sedan Chair. It is very decorative and each panel has been chased and embossed with intricate foliate scroll repousse work. There are large blank cartouches to the front and sides, so it could be personlaised. It has a domed hined lid which has a pretty embossed flower in the centre and it clips over the base so it stays tightly shut. Inside it has a short dividing bar to separate the two different backed packs of playing cards. Both the little contemporary packs of cards are complete with 52 in each pack and one set has a green back and the other pack a red back. It is made from a good guage of silver and has clear hallmarks.
Assay Office: LONDON
Date: 1899/1900
Makers Marks: SJ (Samuel Jackson)
Dimensions: Just over 2.5 inches long to both ends of the carrying handles. The actual body is 1.75 inches long, just under 1.5 inches wide, and 2 inches tall. The actual playing cards are 1.5 inches tall and 1.25 inches wide. The silver weighs 74g (without the cards)
Condition: It is in very good condition, with just one very vry minor shallow ding in one of the cartouches, but this is extrememly minor
Remarks: This really is a lovely antique Victorian solid silver sudan chair shape two pack playing card case, which would make a super display piece and would certainly be a talking point. A super interesting Victorian collectors item and not to be missed
Antique and vintage silver by its very nature has been previously used. Silver is a comparatively soft metal and a combination of many years use invariably leaves its mark. I do endeavour to describe all items accurately but do not expect any antique to be in “as new condition”.
